tomthounaojam Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) This kit has given more headache that a very bad road ride. I wanted to get the Airfix kit, however, after searching for two months from the vendor, I gave up and bought a very crude Hasegawa first generation kit. The kit is very basic, with Zero cockpit details, and ejection seat is anything but a pile of boxes. So, I build some scratch parts of the cockpit and the ejection seat. The decals were just bad, however, didn't have spares so used what was on the kit, hence looking like neon glow. The kit was all raised panel lines and hard plastic tho it was quickly built just under one daytime, I think 30% of the time spent scribing the panel lines and I did like 40% aircraft only. Well, hope it turned out ok, cause am not gonna built this kit again. The English Electric Lighting.

invidia Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Good looking build, done a great job on that, which i think was a old frog kit before hasagawa released it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 It may have given you a fight but I think you emerged the victor. Besides, what can be wrong about an 11 Sqn Lightning? I think also Revel have/do box this kit too. It really has earned a retirement. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Sea Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 The Airfix kit in 1/48 or 1/72 is a treat. I think you made a great job of an ancient kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 The kit started life as a Hasegawa kit and was released for a while under the FROG label. In more recent years, it has also been released by Revell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
