kapam Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Wow! That's a knockout! Could easily pass for a larger scale than 1/72. For me, the figures really set it off beautifully - your figure painting skills are amazing! Super job all-round! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see all your build thread through photos. I'm really going to have to get some of that MDF sheeting & make some proper bases, yours has inspired me! 👍 Martin Glad if I could be of inspiration, Martin My MDF comes form scrapped large picture frames, the ones you get in craft stores, so I have plenty for my needs, but I think you can source it quite easily 11 hours ago, basket said: Another superb model . Bravo Monsieur ! Merci monsieur! 9 hours ago, CJP said: A lot of hard work on your behalf but what a superb Lightning - she looks neat from normal viewing distance & the brave cockpit close ups look great under such close scrutiny - also like the couple of B/W photos you have added. CJP Thank you CJP She actually looks quite dusty, especially on the clear part, upon close inspection, but nothing you can actually see with a bare eye 4 hours ago, kapam said: Wow!

Thanks kapam Figure painting is my other modelling passion, although it had been quite a while since the last one I painted, before tackling these little guys ...

Terry1954 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Having followed the WIP and been highly impressed at every stage, I'm now blown away by the RFI. Superb Lightning Giorgio, and the base and figures really make for a nostalgic setting. I so miss Lightnings from the display circuit!
