DaveJL Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Hello all, Here is my recently completed 1/48 Airfix Lightning F.1 in the markings of XM143 of 74 Squadron in 1962. This is from my 'RAF QRA through the years' project, the build thread for which can be seen here Extras used included a QMT FOD cover, Quickboost seat and New Ware masks. Had a few issues and mistakes with it - the cable ducts aft of the missile pylons should not be there for example, but it's my first ever Lightning in many years of modelling and I'm happy enough with how it's turned out. Apologies for the less than great pictures, struggled to get a good angle and light on the silver. Comments/criticisms welcome, thanks for looking.
