Hi folks.
I received this Ligthing kit as a christmas gift from my wife who always support me on my hobby no matter how big my stash is.
During the building research I saw on the book "Guide for the Modeller" from SAM Publications a profile of the aircraft XN732/R from the 92 Squadron, natural metal with blue spine, fin and rudder. As her name is Rita depict this aircraft seemed to be a beautiful tribute to her.
Being so, I rushed to get the Xtradecal X72092 in order to be able to acomplish this mission. Of course, I also took advantage to get the Xtradecal X72089, the Aires resin cockpit and bang seat, Quickboost rear fuselage corrections, exhaust nozzles, and resin intake ring.
And here are some pictures of the result.
To paint this model I used Gunze and Alclad. the blue spine is Tamiya.
I know that the kit has a lot of issues and the model didn't get perfect but I tried my best and I am very happy that she liked the tribute.
Best regards,
Machado
