matt_w Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Here's my finished Lightning F6 pretty much built out of the box other that a needle pitot tube and some tape in the cockpit. Its The lightning preservation groups XR728 based at Bruntingthorpe. All paints are Humbrol, finished with humbrol gloss and weathering powders. Thanks for looking lightning-8 by matt wellington, on Flickr Oops, in some of the pictures you can see blobs of blu tack under the missiles... Ignore those!

johnny jaguar and the jets Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I love the end-of-an-era colour scheme: makes it look less like a shiny Cadillac and more like the Loch Ness monster! Great build, thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt_w Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Thanks guys. I really enjoyed this build and overall, there weren't too many snags (other than me not reading the instructions properly). Im fancying a nice early F2 in silver with a colourful spine/tail to sit next to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
