Group Build Title: “Don’t Touch A Thing” The Spitfire At 90
Group Build Leader(s): @michaelsatin
Group Build Description: On March 5, 1936, a new fighter from Vickers-Supermarine took to the air from Eastleigh Aerodrome and a legend was born. When Chief Test Pilot Joseph “Mutt” Summers landed and climbed down, the first thing he said was “Don’t touch a thing.” While he likely meant that nothing was to be changed while he finished his report, the phrase has been interpreted ever since as him expressing his complete satisfaction with the aeroplane. And why not! I know it’s only been a couple of years since the last Spit campaign, but it’s hard to pass up the 90th anniversary. And what the heck, it’s the Spitfire!

Have so many Spits in my stash that I need to build some. I’m in with Eduard’s Limited Dual Combo “Southern Star”, which make a Mk. Vb and a Mk. Vc.
