EE Lightning F6 - 1/48 Airfix Finished

An excellent result, very inspirational. Your many hours of work have paid off with a great looking plane. I had never considered pre-shading under a metallic coat, but there you go, it works to great effect ! It sits very well on your shelf, but I have to ask, has the Phantom been naughty ??

Five gold badges from me too.

Thanks for your comments Colin, no the Phantom wasn't naughty, as you will recall the outer section of the wings slope upwards which means they clash with the other models wings if turned round. So pointing him at the wall allows me an extra aircraft on the shelf plus the red tail is shown off better. Cheers Derek

Sweet! Looks great with the sunlight reflecting off of the fuselage. I love the look of the aluminum finish and the different shades. A kit to be proud of!

Hi Tony, thanks for your comments on this and my other models; tell me just how cold does it get in the winter over their to stop you modelling? I see from your postings that you are doing an F-15E, how about some photos when you have a minute. I did an F-15C a short while ago, a nice looking bird, see below for the link. I have two more American Aircraft in my stores, the Academy 1/72 F-22A Raptor and the Hasegawa 1/72 F-14B Tomcat, will get round to them later this year. I quite fancy doing an F-100C Super Sabre some time too. Cheers Derek
