Here's my sword Lighting purchased at Yeovilton this year as an impulse buy. I normally do 1/32 scale so this was a blast from the past when 48th was the scale of choice!, The kit itself is quite good the instructions I found a bit hap hazard but you can easily work it out, the worst thing was the decals the minute they were in water they rolled up. Built pretty much OOB apart from the FOD guard and some antennas. I did the Bovril/Marmite thing for the radome and experimented with dark wash for the dirt. I've forgotten to take a shot of the cockpit! but that came out quite well also making the rubber boots folded over. I've made a mistake in that the yellow around the cockpit should be white. I've added clear light from little cars and the paints were xtracrylix; the silver was alclad but I wasn't impressed by the colour so perhaps it's going out of date?. The only thing it needs are ejection seat handles and its crying out for ladders. Going back to 1/32 again now phew. Steve.
