Are you talking a day or 24 hours combined?

In 24 hours straight Sir, 12.00 to 12.00 or whatever...

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!
Straight OOB old bean, you're allowed different decals though....
Started what now?

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.

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.
You'd be pushing it. Dry times can really screw things up.Originally Posted by Lucky13
