DAG058 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Is this the new tooled one that I am eagerly awaiting John? If so how on earth did you manage to get your hands on it?! Great work, it looks fantastic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaker Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Is this the new tooled one that I am eagerly awaiting John? If so how on earth did you manage to get your hands on it?! Great work, it looks fantastic! I don't think there's a retool, just a rerelease of the original F1/3 kit coming from Airfix this year? On top, fantastic Lightning. Not use to seeing them without a big colourful tail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight_Flyer Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Looks pretty good to me and the bmf is a nice paint job. I've not seen this demonstration scheme before either. it's interesting to see roundels on the missile fins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canberra kid Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Thanks All. Hello,Canberra Kid - Congratulations on a great looking build of your Lightning F1.The scheme looks splendid and the model is a fine tribute to one of the Pioneer Lightnings.All the very best,Paul. Thanks Paul, Great to see the demonstrator markings, I've never seen any decal options for that one. Duncan B You're right Duncan as far as I know it's for some strange reason she's never been reproduced on a after market sheet, which is a real shame. Thank goodness for modern technology!

I can't understand why this scheme hasn't append on any after market sheets, there aren't that many R&D colours for the Lightning. The bmf is Halfords Nissan silver rattle can with a few coats of Klear, The roundels on the fin appear to be the fashion of the time for inert drill rounds.

mirageiv Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Superb model John of a Lightning I have not seen before. The T4 demonstrator would look lovely from the upcoming Sword kit (if it is any good!) Cheers David. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dave, I'm planning to build the new Sward T.4 as the demonstrator when it comes out, hopefully it will be a good kit, but if it turns out to be a pig I can always repaint my 111 Sqn T.4.anyway that's the plan for now. Very nice ...you can never have too many!! Thanks, glad you like her. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
