replicant Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Hello mates! This is my very oldest surviving model that i never gave up, Tamiya 1:100 Frightning. Hardly survived my yobro's abuse (playing dart!!!) and was in pieces until yesterday (as the Sabre) but i reassembled it minus the missing parts to show it to stevej60 and YOU!! You see, as the Germans say: he is also only cooking with water.... So many EE Blitz unbuilt kits i have, but i am a builder not a collector, i think i will start now... Crazy, this early one has recessed lines, later Tamiyas not! (Marketing said: Behave!!! You can't do that! They don't want that!! Puuuuh.....) Cheers! 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javlin Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Those Matchbox's still produce a good kit and some of those off the beaten path Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSTON Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) Wonderfully sweet LIGHTNING. The metal shines lovely and it's RESPLEDENT Model. But can't you take photos of your AWESOME Lightning perched on a plain background rather than the box. One cannot see its real beauty mixed with box art etc... thank you . I just want to see it more really...hence the hints .please.thank you. Now off you go and take some outside sunny glamor shots ..

FAAMAN Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Very nice Frightening, one of the better Tamiya 1/100 kits At least it's not the completely awful Tamiya 1/100 F-104 or Mirage IIIC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
