Ah, some progress nearly slipped by. Well, looking very nice. The seat looks most effective. nice job.

I think I best get this finished.

No rush, it's only been about 4 and a half years.

The thing is Colin I can’t even remember why I stopped building it. It’s now off the shelf of doom, and back onto the building table.

That's why I try to stick to the 'one build' rule. Although these days any build would be a bonus for me. I must make an effort to play with plastic.

Hi Ian
You started this before the influx of refugees from the defunct MM forum. I was one of them. There was a modeller on the old forum called Tim White who only built Lightning's. Sadly he passed away.
Your build of this iconic aircraft brought back memories. I'll enjoy seeing you complete this. Great work so far, superb cockpit. The aftermarket stuff really adds to the model. As has been said you'll need a very big shelf :smiling:
Jim
