First one for a while as work has meant little time at the model desk.

Trumpeter English Electric F1 of the Air Fighting Development Squadron, RAF Coltishall, 1961.

AFDS was the first Lightning unit and was used to understand how to use the Lightning in RAF service.

Nice job.

What did you use for the NMF - looks very effective!

I used Humbrol Enamel, 27002 Polished Aluminium, 56 Metallic Aluminium and a Molotow liquid chrome pen for the shiny bits.

That is stunningly good.

So often a NMF looks contrived. 

Yours looks outstanding, and natural.

Bravo.

A beautiful Lightning.  The early witches hat versions are my favourites.  A very convincing nmf.

Lovely early Lightning. The NMF is superbly and convincingly done.

 

Only one constructive criticism is that port RAF fin-flash appears to be reversed?

 

Other than that, brilliant work.

You are correct...

Nice effort  Scotty. Just goes to show you dont need all that Fancy Mig / Ammo / Alclads etc etc.

I did that on one of my Lightning builds - most embarrassing 😚

Nicely done buddy, very realistic finish.  How was the build?

I find the build on these Trumpeter lightnings generally very good, cant compare it with a new Airfix kit as I'm still yet to build one.
