Airfix 1/48 Lightning F6 - LTF


Recommended Posts

The first off the bench in 2017 is an Airfix Lightning F6. This was a bit of a long term project, starting about 6 months ago, just plodding along with it between group builds. The kit was great, it went together superbly and has plenty of details. I supplemented the kit with aftermarket decals, a resin cockpit and seat (which came with PE) and a brass pitot tube. In all honesty though the kit doesn't need it and would build beautifully OOB.

 

All in all a very fun and satisfying build, so much so That I have gone out and bought another one of these kits and also the Airfix F1 kit!

 

Thank you very much for looking and please leave comments and I welcome any questions you may have!

Now that is perfectly finished - absolutely love the subtle weathered and faded look.

 

An real cracker and one to be proud of.

 

I've got one part built and need to get around to finishing it off!!
