I had a week off last week and did everything other than any modelling!! Oh well, I've completed the decals this evening so I just need to seal them (tomorrow), put on a panel wash and she's almost done! :happy:

Terrific paint and decals, i liked the red parts on the last one but this blue looks really good, i think I'll have to pick one of the last 48th scale ones up from telford, before they're all gone,

Thanks Glynn  :happy:  She's currently soaking in a grime / panel wash. Need to leave it 30 mins before getting the worst off then looking to complete her tomorrow 🤞

 

I imagine the 1:48 kits must be a dream to build!! :daydream:

I have one of these birds on the to-do list.  I have seen so many good looking builds that I realize I must do it!

 

Nice looking model too!  Very pretty.

 

Thanks John. Hope you like the final result. I was up early this morning so made the best of the time.

 

Thanks to Col for hosting - thoroughly enjoyable (despite the first attempt palaver)!!

Lovely result :goodjob: 

Seeing models of this quality is one of the rewards from hosting a GB that go towards making it all worthwhile.

 

Very kind words - Thank you Col :blush:  Thanks again for the opportunity to build a Lightning (even if it took two attempts!) Glynn's post has me pondering over a 1:48 now!!

Thank you Stix - You are very kind  :blush:  

 

I have a few more of the stands left so will be doing some more 'in flight' builds over the coming months :fingerscrossed:
