yeah, the flying one's look really good, however, you appear to be missing a pilot?!?

... but he obviously didn't drop it on his lap! When that happens you arch your backside off the seat before the hot ciggie starts burning the more delicate parts of the anatomy. If the pilot was doing that, you'd see him nearly sticking his head through the top of the canopy! lol

Obviously, Graham knows how I know this!

Nice pictures Bobby, but what have you done?!!

A pilotless Spitfire is still on the Official Secrets List and is not supposed to be in the public domain until 2012, when one is going to fly over the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics.

You do realise you have broken the Official Secrets Act? I have no doubt you will be receiving a knock on your front door from some gentlemen with big coats and bulging midriffs very soon now.

May I suggest you go and hide in the Ibrox Stadium for a while, no one ever goes there so you should be allright, and you could live on Bovril!!!

:scotland:

Cheers, Ron

ha ha ha ha ha haaaa ha haaa, being a celtic supporter i found that last comment to be genius. good on ya spanner. he he he. as for the pilot, he had taken some gun fire and small fire had started at the floor of of the cockpit and he had to lean down to quickly put it out. it was a close shave but afterwards he did a full loop and came back on the enemy, gunning down his target with fear and panic. i witnessed the whole thing.

That's 'cos there ain't nearly enough manufacturer's puttin' pilot figures in their kits! We can't ALL imagine they've dropped ciggies or are puttin' out small fires!

yeah, thats right! i did find it a bit anoying that the 1/24 scale kit has a pilot but the 1/48 scale doesn't. no surprised the 1/72 scale doesn't but they could squeeze one in the 1/48.
