corsaircorp Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Hello Bill ! Good Lightning, Haze blue is really difficult to reproduce !! But you make it justice ! Nice effects ! Sincerely. Corsaircorp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Stunning work! I can see you put a lot of effort into this model. (Second picture looks like a different model due to the garish blue color - suppose this picture was taken under another light source?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wdedig Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 Thanks Guys second picture was on workbench not photo area. Way different light. Photo booth has much more accurate colors but workbench has accurate props😃😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmouredSprue Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Very nice indeed. This is not an easy kit to build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like how your PRU blue turned out. Echoing ArmouredSprue above, did this kit offer any untoward difficulty in your opinion? Dragon kits look so great in the box but sometimes don't go together so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc72 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Very nice. That is a plane and a paint scheme that also has appealed to me for some time. Was the Dragon kit tricky to build (probably all P-38 are in a way tricky)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wdedig Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 Greetings Guys Dragon kit had a few tricky areas but nothing catastrophic. The nose for the Photo section was a single clear section and required a bit of cutting and filling in the front. Basic modelling skills were required for model but isn't that the objective.. Build awayBill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build awayBill That's why I did buy RS Model's rendering of the F-5A instead; however, on close inspection, that kit has some tricky areas as well... it seems to me that the Dragon kit has finer surface detail in general.

Andwil Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Nice! Colour scheme looks good on a Lightning. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 That looks superb! Having built a Dragon Lightning myself, I salute you for the great result - the fit of key parts isn't always the best, as I recall. Brilliant job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
