Cheers fellas I'm leaving it off Boots until I can sure I never found the definitive source (that website seems to be dead) but all the comments I’ve read say by the time of the IXc it was a VHF radio set so the wire was in the antenna itself.

Oh yes that person is out there somewhere, I've been told the base is too small "...........the base is too small." That's funny..... . The person that said it probably hasn't built a kit since 1996.

For the show next weekend my buddy from the club is taking the old Airfix MkI so we can put them side by side to see the improvement in quality off the kits

LOL He has built one of these but it wasn't even on a base The worst complaint I ever seen is someone talking about the inaccuracies of a Me 109. Now that may be valid but this was a toon kit. The builder made a base and then used the image showing these flaws to cover the base!

"I am sorry, your Toon ME-109 is dimensionally inaccurate when compared to Dana Bell's scale measurements in Detail and Scale #7."🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I took the Spitfire to the club and entered it in the comp. Bill was there now Bill writes for SMA magazine and get all his models given to him by the publishers. Tonight Bill brought the new 1/32 Tornado and put it in the same category as mine Without a doubt Bill won the category and also got best in show. Afterwards he said to me "I'm really glad about winning tonight as I was up against some stiff competition in that category", that meant a lot to me, thank you Bill

It must have been a close run thing Robbo. Your Spit has the edge for me as I love the WWII colours.
