At Sea Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) Please see the link to the progress page. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234995376-english-electric-lighting-f3-xp753-74-tigers-squadron-148-airfix/ Built out of the box with only Humbrol products and in tribute to all those who lost their lives in this exciting aircraft, XP753 crashed in the 1980's but here she is with 74 Squadron in the 1960's at Leuchars.

eng Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Magnificent aircraft, and a lovely build too, the Airfix Lightning still seems to meet with much approval after all these years. Very nice finish. Rgds, Eng 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMP2 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Lovely polished shiney ring too, how did you get that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Lovely polished shiney ring too, how did you get that? The only non-Humbrol / Airfix products are some Xtra-decal decals to get the bigger tigger stripes and the serial number and some Baco-Foil stuck down with copydex. Works very well I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) Just noticed I forgot the retraction links for the main under cart. Will add later. Edited March 29, 2016 by At Sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air-to-Air Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 That's a good bit of kit. I've always liked the NMF Lightning and this one looks good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
