Revell 1/144 RSAF English Electric Lightning Gate Guardian

[Dazzio]

Hello Everyone,

This is the project I decided upon for the Lesser Built Air-Forces GB I did actually finish my projects on time (just) but being the lazy bugger I am, I have only just taken the pictures of it. I would like to thank Cliff C, Col. & Robvulcan for hosting the GB they did a fantastic job and of course Mish who puts a lot of her free time into the running of the GB's in general. I will buy you all a beer if I ever meet you

The project I decided upon was a Gate Guardian of sorts for the Royal Saudi Air Force and the aircraft is based on a round about at RSAF Tabuk (if you click here it should take you to it's location in Google Earth). As far as I have found, there is only about 8 pictures of this actual aircraft. I did not get the correct serial codes for the aircraft, that will be done in due course. But I am calling her complete for the time being. Onto the pictures

The SNEB (is that the correct term?) pods where taken from the Revell 1/144 Hawker Hunter kit and I scratch built the plyon myself.

The base is quite literally a 5 minute job, with some acrylic stolen... *borrowed* from work.

Let me know what you think.

Kind Regards,

Dazz

Hi Dazz - Well done on a great-looking desktop display model.I've always thought the Saudi Markings suited the Lightning very much.Grand job! Paul.

Good to see this finished, and the plinth really does look good.

Thank you all, I am not so sure on the plinth myself, but everyone's their own worse critic and all that.

I have since found an RSAF Tornado IDS thats more or less the same display. Looking to build that for the Tornado GB

Kind Regaards,

Dazz
