| Now you've started something! Ah! Wasn't there a pic in one of the threads a couple of months back, where some guys built a Spit on their way to one of the Oz expos? I suppose it could be done, to an extent, if it wasn't too complex, and straight OOB. I aint going to try though - with my hands, it can sometimes take that long just to open the bl**dy box!

| With painting and all? I'm not sure its possible. How much time is needed for paint to dry anyway?

| I think that it'd be possible with acrylics, not so sure about the enamels though....

| It's completely possible. I used to do it all the time as a teenager. Go to hobby store, get kit, build kit, nothing to do for the rest of the day.

| Senior Member | I think you could do it with say a Corsair or a Hellcat or some other solid colour plane and with acrylic paints.

| You don't think that it'd be possible with a Luftwaffe or any other machine, with more than one colour in the camouflage?

| Probably could with a Hobby Boss 1/72nd scale kit, there're only about 15 parts!

| There's no way I could do it; if I finish a kit inside of 24 MONTHS, then I'm working fast! My problem is I'm too much of a perfectionist; if I don't like something, I strip the paint off and start all over again (well, at least on that one piece). Also, I like to give a MINIMUM of 24 hours between coats of enamel paint; there's definitely a difference between "dry" and "cured" paint. Ideally, you should let enamels cure for about a week before giving it a second coat, masking it, and/or applying decals. |

| Senior Member | You'd be pushing it. Dry times can really screw things up.
