    Project Airfix Mk1 Spitfire

    This was built as a nightfighter in totally fictional markings as a tribute to our family pet killed by a car.

        The pet was a cat I suppose. I worry about mine, near a quite busy road. They are people, and cars shouldn't kill people.

          Thanks guys. Yes, she was a cat. Just over 1 year old. The dove is significant as she was quite often seen chasing them in the local churchyard.

                  Yes a very nice tribute and model. We lost a lovely Persian some years back. Always think it is best to get another with out delay. Problem with pets you get so attached to them and them us.

                    Thanks everyone. Its still strange not having her here.

                    Someone said her ears look a little bit like the Spitfire wings lol.

                      I take it the cat was called Dora? Interesting and unique way to remember her. When I was in my early teens I once saw a cat run over and had to get involved to help. The driver didn't even stop. It certainly left a lasting impression on me.

                      Our Pets are part of our lives and loosing one of them is just as heart wrenching as loosing a friend or relative.

                        Yeah, she was Dora. She didnt stop exploring when we first got her home and the name stuck.

                          seriously cool tribute, my sympathies for your loss

                          always hits me when i lose a pet

                          both our kittys are indoor (since we live in a top floor apartment), had willow a year but only last week we took in a black kitten, now called jessie. i always say my kids have paws and fur, and the more people i know the more i prefer my cats.
