Redboost Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hey folks, this is the Sword kit built with Xtracadels and few scratchbuilt items as XS419. Not an easy build, but on the other hand fully in line what we have come to expect from Sword lately. The build should appear in MAI in due course.

Lightningboy2000 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Wow, that's lovely! A really finely finished Lightning. For some reason I found that the cockpit section wouldn't fit properly and ended up with an oval intake, so replaced mine with the Trumpeter nose ring. I see you have given it some new rivet lines, whose tool design do you use? Look forward to your article! Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 C'est Beautiful! Photos are great, and I think Libor has at least two lights set up as can sort of be detected with the double shadow underneath the subject. regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redboost Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Thanks everyone for comments! Despite minor fit issues worth building, it is gergous design! As for the questions, I use DSLR D5200 with 15-108 lens and three studio lights. Still need to play with their position as the shadows are quite distinct as correctly noted. The rivet tool is Rosie the Rivereter, the smaller available size. Cheers Libor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bordfunker Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 That is really something. The finish makes it look more 1/48 than 1/72. Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
