    All in all a nice, easy build. There are a few amateur tell tale signs (like that big paint smudge on the fin insignia) I need to neaten up. But by my standards this is pretty good, and overall i'm very happy with this Chris x

    Here we have my build number 9 since re-addicting myself to this plastic hell. And by gumbo this fought me all the way. I'm still not sure who won this one. But why oh why do Trumpeter Lightning? I'm not knowledgeable about all the details, but even I could tell it wasn't particularly accurate with that the abomination that is its tail. So.. Yes.. WHY?! Well it had been a nice present from the girlfriend, so I did have to build it. With all the new kits coming out from Airfix an Sword I also thought I'd better get it out the way so it was done and ready to get dusty on the shelf. I decided not to fix all that could be reasonably fixed, but thought that surgery on the back end by fitting a better shaped resin part from Aires was good practice for me. What almost caught me was when I forgot to compensate for the added weight sitting that far back. I nearly had a tail sitter, but a dab of liquid gravity super glued into the nose cone saved the day. Oh, yes.. And more NMF practice for me.. As if the Mig 15 I'd done previously wasn't enough punishment. Finished off in a main covering of Alclad Aluminium, a few spots of polished aluminium, airframe aluminium and a dab of Tamiya titanium (which was a bit too subtle tbh). Some Model Alliance decals slapped on with the usual chemicals. All done with most of its inaccuracies intact. I didn't have any drawings so those fins are still the kit shape even though it's a simple fix. It has the air brakes open because after 7 rounds with it I couldn't face closing them up and dealing with any seams. I'm glad it's over... So let's just move straight on to my 'interpretation' of a Lightning F6. Please feel free to laugh at, commiserate or sympathise with another Trumpy Lightning builder.
