    Bloody hell, that is nice….

    I’m tempted! :p

    They also do a MK-XIV which I don’t like so much (Merlin Spits “should” be high backed, Griffon engined “low” backed IMHO) but top quality, seen them in the local “Model Zone” … its Xmas, treat yourself…..

    There’s something about the XVIII that makes it look so…. right in those photos. Certainly my favourite of the late-mark Griffon Spits (after the 24).

    Daz – follow my link above, the site there is in the USA but they do decent views of the model, you can pick up one these lovelies easily in the UK.

    Go on, treat yourself for xmas….. you know you want to….

    do you think ?

    I buy (far too many…) pre made die-cast aircraft (95 odd now) and if you shop around you can get some corking bargins and quality – has that doen anything to sales of plastic kits or is it just the lazy folk like me copping out?

    Shame we didn’t see more of her here but…

    better “in the air over there” than in a crate or pile of parts etc…

    anyway – I bought my own – not sure that prop is quite right but not many late marque Spitfires around compared with Merlin versions…

    So you have cats round your way as big as a Ford Focus?:confused:

    I’d consider moving, before they turn nasty!:eek:

    If the turds in qustion came from a hedgehog, the hedgehog would need to be the size of a car.:diablo:

    pain at times – but as above, moving the turd elsewhere (wash down the “area” with water and disinfectant after) and they seem not to come back as often (that and the water blaster if needed)

    It’s almost, although not always, impossible to train cats, they usually do what they want to.

    It’s true that cats don’t always get it right, but it’s rare.

    I’ve seen them in my garden scratch away at the grass, do their thing then push the grass over it.

    If it was a hedgehog, then there is one the size of a Ford Focus living somewhere near me judging by the size of the s**t in question and I’m sure I’d have noticed that…….

    Putting the “Old” s**t elsewhere (hedgerow) seems to have worked, but the water blasters stay on standby just in case…….

    I know mate – but fact is I do have to – as soon as the grass is more than 3 cms long, its there:mad:

    I did find that scoping it up and putting it under a hedge outside helped, they follow the smell after all but some still find their way in.

    not ashamed to say that the kids big water blasters come in useful (you know the things, pump action type) – would never do anything to hurt one, but a water blast as they settle down or try and pass through is OK by me.

    tried some garden cente stuff, stinks the place out – lion s**t or p**s is the best they say – maybe thats a job to give to the benefits cheats !!!! Un PC….. I know…

    I would just ask any cat owner to justify why I should have to check my garden, for their animal’s s**t before my two children can play in their own garden.
