Ive got to dig mine out from the loft,the Airfix 1-48 f2a/f6 , its been lurking up there for about ten years! I wanted to do a nmf version but til now didnt have the confidence i could do it justice. The new vallejo metal colors have been great for me though so its time my poor old lightning made an appearance. Cheers tony
