24th scale spit my dad built for me along with the same scale me109 for a battle of britain dogfight.
the splendid man went to the trouble of mocking up a engine fire in the jerry plane with painted cotton wool and modded the pilot to look like effecting an escape from the cockpit.
after discovering birds, bikes and booze (all at once it seemed), i lost interest in plastic planes and glue.
having lost my son to the same erm, vices plus the RAF at sixteen i now know why my father looked so sad when the planes ended up in the bin
i suppose like a lot of middle aged men i would give parts of my body to build one again with me long departed dad........feel sad now!!!!!!
