scottyphbeta Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 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. 55 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spad Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Nice job. What did you use for the NMF - looks very effective! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Humbrol Enamel, 27002 Polished Aluminium, 56 Metallic Aluminium and a Molotow liquid chrome pen for the shiny bits. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Excellent Lightning, and the NMF is very convincing. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatFlyHalf Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 That is stunningly good. So often a NMF looks contrived. Yours looks outstanding, and natural. Bravo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vultures1 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Very smart Lightning with a superb metal finish - well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 A beautiful Lightning. The early witches hat versions are my favourites. A very convincing nmf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentbalzac Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
