Airfix Lightning F6


Recommended Posts

Superb Lightning, what a looker. Out of interest, are those Red Tops just ballast rounds? I can't see them flying very well without fins, and such finless missiles have baffled me before, when looking at reference pics.

Gosh! Thanks everyone for your positive comments and feedback!! Thats very kind of you all!

Very nice build matey! Having done it myself, the masking is an exercise in precision!

Thanks Greg! Having your "AA" in the display cabinet for a year or so may just have inspired this build!!

I must have missed these last few messages - many thanks for your kind words...I'm looking forward to the kit coming out as well - as I quite fancy another F2a...........I did this one a few years ago, but I'm not quite happy with the wing leading edges..

Acquisition (training) rounds. Live seeker head, but no rocket motor or bits that go bang.
