iainpeden Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Airfix (unless you want a twin tub) and it depends how good you are at natural metal finishes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shatters Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Airfix is the best for single seat lightnings. As for what Mark to build, that has to be a personal choice, do you want a NMF early model ? A green a grey mid service scheme ? Or a late F3 or F6 in the grey schemes ?

Rob G Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 1. Airfix. 2. Whichever mark floats your boat. Personally I love 'em all. Maybe choose a colour scheme that works for you then go from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I also have a penchant for the 56 Sqn F1 scheme with the red wing leading edges and red spine/fin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 ah, now that shows how even a single variant can split views, my favourite is the dark green over natural metal undersides scheme, 92 Sqn preferably. Having said that @mhaselden, your chosen scheme runs a pretty close second! Maybe one for an F.2 build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhaselden Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 So many Lightnings, so little time!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephLalor Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I like green/grey camouflaged Lightnings, but for natural metal ones I'm very taken with the F3s of 111Sqn with the black/yellow striped fin or 56Sqn with red checkered fin and red spine.
