Hallo again
The EE Lightning from Sword is a kit, which is not the finest, but good one to advance for a nice model. I built the Lightning already in 1/33 from paper. A long time ago.
Now, here I started with getting the main groups of the a/c right done.
The wing, very unusual in shape and cross section. Here at the trailing area, where the ailerons are, I had to fill in some styrene, to prevent a remarkable difference, not flush at all.
The intake as a group I finished. Here I could do inside all necessary grinding. I will paint the cone, mask it and afterward the rest in aluminum before assembling in the fuselage. Which green was the cone actually? Dark green, bright green?
The cockpit is nice from the resin aftermarket. Just to ask you, the experts: The color of the cockpit is actually gray & black.
Now, I’ll see how to proceed. Just to add: I will add a bulkhead in mid fuselage at the wing section, to provide more stiffness there. It is simple too soft, and the danger is to crack the glue there!
Happy modelling
P.S. Which kit you may suggest for the early aluminum fighter version in 48?
