Really nice work, the subtle weathering looks just right too! Lovely job! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Great finish, Neil! Spot-on with the subtle weathering, I think you've really captured that well. Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Thanks guys, it's been an enjoyable build. Bit more work done since. I reproduced the white framework of the canopy using the Tamiya flexible masking tape. It tends to move if left, so I touched the main stress points with superglue to hold it in place which seems to work. The ejection seat chords were made from wire. Just the missiles to paint then we're done 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirageiv Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Fantastic Lightning, the weathering looks very convincing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbag Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Really nice Neil. Quite a departure from your normal theme of cammo and turrets, but equally as good. Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heloman1 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Well Neil., that is looking very tasty indeed. Why the jump from half build to a modelto one with paint and decals on??? No matter it's looking fab. I do like the Lightning but would never build one. Why the departure form WWII bombers? Glad I found your build thread, magic work as always.

woody37 Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Cheers guys chris, hope to get over through the Christmas period if you're around? Hopefully the 727 has been painted 😀 Colin, I was on a roll, so never stopped for pictures. I did take a few at the primed stage but got the silver on before uploading them. It's not often I work at that rate 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarcococca Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Very nice and clean built. I like it. I had to built the Airfix kit with the conversion part of CMK in 2008 to get one T.4! Congrats for such a nice model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
