At my most recent AMPS meeting we had our annual Four Hour Build Challenge. In this challenge, everyone picks a model they think they can get done in four hours. Hair dryers were provided to speed the drying of paint in order to facilitate things. Any model any scale was allowed, so I chose an ancient blister-packed kit of the Airfix P-51D Mustang. This is the very ancient model that barely resembles a P-51, had no cockpit interior, the decals were quite yellow and it was extremely basic in construction. After three hours and ten minutes, I had this finished:    It does look like a child did it, and it has tons of flaws, but it was done in three hours which makes me quite happy. I like it. Thanks for looking in.

Nothing wrong with that considering the timescale involved. I do remember fondly those display bases and the matchbox ones, used to have loads all over my bedroom as a kid.

Thanks for the great comments guys. Yeah, the Four Hour Build Challenge is always a popular item on the yearly agenda for our club. It's always a blast to see who gets finished and who doesn't; how far they get etc. Loads of fun.
