Duncan B Quite right Duncan, I remember a polethera of trays on the floor semi lightning shape and the bodge tape covering the gaps in the panels especially between the fuselage and the belly tank! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewCJ50 Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 Dear Colleagues Thanks for your kind words, yes it is Noy's miniatures for the hanger and Hasegawa for the equipment. The figures are modern French ground crew from Reedoak. Normally I photograph against a scenic backdrop but the hanger makes life a lot easier. If you get the angle right you feel you are up close to the real aircraft. If you liked this have a look at my recent post on the F-8 Crusader. Must remember about the drip trays for next time!

Mark4700 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 That’s superb. I looked at the pictures first, wondered where the pictures of your kit were and had to scroll back up to read that these were of the kit, and not pictures of the real thing. 🤦♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-32 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Very nicely done, both the Lightning and the hanger are first class builds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewCJ50 Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 Does anyone know if the Lightning and Starfighter ever had any mock dogfights? Both designs were quite focused on high altitude bomber interception and had little surplus fuel to mess around. Both I think had good power to weight ratios, but maybe the Lightning would win in a turning fight? Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
