Lightning T5, 56 Squadron

That's a shame.  But it's better to be a day late and a dollar short, than bankrupt & empty handed.  Sounds like the extra time and jockeying around will be worth the effort in the end.

That's a shame to hear. Still, I'd rather that you finished the model to a standard that you're happy with rather than rush to get it into the gallery with all the attendent risks. Thank you for joining in!

Well, this is the little piece of plastic I lost from the T5 

 

This is my solution around the problem, not a cheap one, but at least I'll get around to adding another aircraft to my growing collection of 56 squadron Firebirds, and I get to go to town on the cockpit of the T4 with this lovely resin set

that is a good solution me thinks!

 

where did you get this resin cockpit from?

 

Thanks! and looking forward to the (ahm both) finished Lightning!

Hi @exdraken, it was the only solution I could come up with  

I got mine from Hannants, but it looks like they are awaiting stock at the present

You get a lot of resin for your money though and the quality is superb  

 

Looking forward to getting back into modelling after a family bereavement, then ending up with a stomach virus myself, but all ok now
