Wg Cdr Ed Durham Kit: Airfix A04054 Scale: 1:72 Paint: Tamiya and Alclad Decals: Kit and Xtradecal X72-155 Another little masterpiece from Airfix, not only a joy to build but in my opinion the best 1:72 kit of a lightning in existence.

Catbird Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Nicely done. A very well done worn appearance. Not your fault but the Firestreaks in the kit are a let down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Thanks everyone Looks very nice. Airbrakes look like an ok fit. Did you do anything to them to achieve that? I put a bit of thin Pasticard behind them as they do sit in a little too deep. Nicely done. A very well done worn appearance. Not your fault but the Firestreaks in the kit are a let down. Yes the 'firesticks' are Very nice Mish - what did you use for the intake ring to get the shiny finish? Pat Bare metal foil Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
