When it came time to paint the face of Jesus Christ, he could make no progress.

I think that 'When it came time' is incorrect grammatically and 'When time came' is correct rather than it.
Could you tell me whether my opinion is right ?

Thanks.

No. The original stands correct as is. "When time came" is also correct, as is "When the time came." I like the original best. Greg
