A rainy weekday in October and the monthly visit to my local model group was in order.

Resurrected after a good few years was the reintroduction of 'bring and build' kit night - scale was chosen at 1/144th scale.

A few intrepid builders brought a selection of their tools, paints and hairy sticks to do battle!

Time allotted was two & a half hours - plenty, so I thought!

My kit of choice was bought of a club member a pair of Tomcats...

Crusader, according to this member it was awful kit!

Derek constructs a 262 and a Lightning takes shape...

One happy chappy with a Eurofighter...

Only a few managed to finish their kits, I even tried (and failed) to do both my Tomcats, but failed miserably...

Derek's 262

My effort, spent too much time on my pilots!

Mirage... I think?

...and finally a Eurofighter, my favorite of the evening

We had a lot of laughs and fun was had by all - I hadn't made a plastic kit since 1995 (apart from the odd Bandai no-glue or skill needed) but still it was great to get stuck in and then wonder where the time went!
I'll finish the F-14's when time allows
 
That looks like a great evening! :) Thank you for sharing the pictures with us. The planes are very cute. :)
