Popular Post goon Posted September 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2018 Hi All, This is my build of the Airfix 1/48 Lightning F.6 scrambling to intercept. It's posed over a runway blur base from Coastal Kits. I had an old lighting kit lying around and decided to install it. Unfortunately the LEDs aren't bright enough to cope with the tight bends I had to put in the fibre optics for the wing tip lights so they can't be seen. The spine light works though, and I'm pleased with the afterburner glow. (It's actually more violet / blue in real life, but I had to boost the contrast of the photo and it's changed the hue a little.) This is a peach of a kit, perhaps Airfx's best. Thanks for looking in, Gareth 77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goon Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 Thanks for the generous comments everyone. I used a bit of artistic licence on the nose gear, as it didn’t really tell the story posed straight down. Gareth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Hello Goon, Superb take-off diorama. I think the best I have ever seen. Clean, not overly weathered, and the position of the re tracking gear is a job well done. Regards, Orion / The Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selwyn Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Great effect, on lift off with the wheels half up! (Just paint the red bands on the missiles the correct brown colour and it will be absolutely perfect!) Selwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goon Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 Thanks again everyone. (I wondered who'd pick up on the stripes Selwyn!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
