CedB Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Phil ( @HP42 ) kindly gave me some of his 'spare' kits on the understanding that I WiP them here. Nice man. The latest completion is the Revell EE Lightning F6. I really wanted to do a camouflaged version as I already have 'a silver one' so I ordered the Xtradecal X72155 1/72 English Electric Lightning decals from MJW. Brush painted with Humbrol acrylics and AK True Metal paste for the undersides. Molotow chrome pen for the intake surround. W&N satin varnish on the top. Not my best by a long way but, as philp's club motto says, "Finished is better than perfect." Thanks Phil! Just don't look too closely… on Flickr Finally, my favourite 'Lightning' shot: 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doccur Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Wonderful work! Nice to see a good brushpainted model. I believe this is just a rebox of the original Frog? Cheers, Ash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Thanks Ash I think you're right. According to Scalemates it's a rebox of the Frog 1974 new tool. Whatever, I wish they hadn't used that horrid shiny plastic… Forgot to include a link to the WiP which is: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookenbacher Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 The Lightning just looks fast, no matter the scheme, but your latest appears like it may cause sonic booms from the ceiling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 The Revell kit is a rebox of the 1960s Hasegawa kit. FROG also issued the Hasegawa kit in the mid to late 1960s and at interim periods until their demise in 1976. It was also released under the Novo label. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaron Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Another good 'un from the Bath Shock-Modeller's Collective. Comradely salutations. (Autocorrect on the tablet amusingly amended my misspelling of 'collective' to 'tiverton' just now. #redjamonthescones) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
