Now i have your attention.
Having bought 2 identical kits, i am willing to give one away to the first member who can guess what the kit it is i am building.
The Rules, ( well you have to have them :-) )
1- I will
only except answers in this thread, so no P.Ms or E/mails please. This is so everything is above board.
2- I will post a clue every 3 days.
3- I want an exact designation, E.G - F-16C, i won't except F-16. . By the way its not an F-16 :-) .
4- At the end of each day before i go to bed i will tell you if you are close, by using the hot/ cold/ warm routine
. As in Hot- nearly right and Cold- way off.

Nice one Dave!
Is it a condition of entry that you have to do a group build with Andy if you win it???

That's AWESOME!
Quite how Dave pinned this one based on so little info is totally beyond me! And what finer way to carry the best spirit of Armorama through to Aeroscale?! Dave, you do us all proud.
All the best

It's a pleasure to do a little something to support the Aircraft of the Month.
Just for the record the fun part was playing hot and cold again, it's been many moons, and I've passed much water since I played that. Oh, I am building a bi-plane for my aircraft for the year...... but it has no doggy or pig for a pilot. :-)
