trickyrich Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 welcome aboard my good friend and a very nice choice as well. The first Lightning, and not the last either I bet, with a pin-up girl on the nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Good choice Les. I am curious how it will build. I have got a earlier version. That will go in 8th AF colours as well. I will watch this one. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 it's coming along nicely I see, am jealous as I can't start mine until next week! Plus I have the Viper to finish for the SciFi GB as well! they're some heavy duty pegs you got there! I had a close look at the gun pack photo, you and Arnold are right, it does look a bit odd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellzy Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 T I had a close look at the gun pack photo, you and Arnold are right, it does look a bit odd. the gun pack is too big l tried rubbing down the doors but the ammo hangs out over the side Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 That is some great progress. mine have stalled at the moment. I am bussy with my Dewoitine D.520 for the French GB. I also notised that the cockpit from the F/G/H and J version looks the same. I also have the walk around book from Squadron. When I take a look at it then the radio compartment from the kit doesn't look like anything that is in the book. I will stick with it, because I have to. I don't know if there is a Aires set for the Hasegawa P-38?! I wanted to use the set for a Academy one, but that is to fiddely to use.
