Great stuff to see another Lightning model. I made the same version some years back and regretted selling the thing.

Have you thought of using sticky backed alloy foil for the nose ring ! You can then really polish it up.

Very nicely built! Why do these older jets look so much nicer then the new typhoons etc?

Two beautiful Lightnings in two days! Wonderful stuff.

Hi Ian, I like it a lot, cracking job. You seem to be doing a few great builds quite quickly and to such a great standard!!!

Cheers, Andrew

Beautiful job Ian, I think Airfix have certainly captured the shape and power of the Lightning. Nice to see a grey one. Cheers Derek

Lovely old Airfix, they do scrub up well with a bit of hard work

Great result

Thanks for the nice words everyone. Andyrobs I wouldn't say quickly the lightning and A10 have been in the background for a while they have just been finished quite close together. I do like to have a couple on the go together so when things are drying iv'e other things to do

Great job. I like to see someone doing a nice job on an Airfix. Does the kit also have a natural metal finish option ?

Hi Chris (Moriarty 1177 ) This is Airfix 1/48 EE Lightning was a nice kit to build the only real problem was that the instuctions about fitting the under carrage was not very clear

[MORIARTY1177]

She's a beauty Ian, very nice work. The detail looks pretty good for an oldish kit.

Regards

Chris
