Allatsea Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Airfix EE Lightning F6 1/48 11 Squadron Thoroughly enjoyable build with any issues or mistakes caused by myself rather than the kit, would defiantly build another. Only took a couple of evenings to do, was a nice break after getting bogged down with the Revell GR4 and the never ending Buccaneer builds. Only down sides were a couple of bits missing, antenna on top of the canopy and one of the nose wheel doors, due to it being a second hand kit off Ebay and the decals were out of register. Straight out of the box with the only adjustment being to cut down the seat to fit in the pilot. Paints used Tamyia Dark Sea Grey and Dark Green 2 for the wrap around, Humbrol Silver for the underside. Humbrol black wash for the weathering finished with Tamyia flat varnish on top and gloss underneath. Sorry for the grainy photos, think its time I up graded my phone. 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold55 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 These look great! Have to agree with you that the Airfix Lightning is a great kit. I built mine quite a while ago but recall it as an enjoyable build with good fitting plastic. Like the weathering job you have done, looks very realistic.

binbrook87 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Fantastic. You've gotta love the Airfix 1/48th scale Lightning as it just looks right, and yours is a cracking example 👍 The Bucc is pretty special too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Great builds. I didn't realize the Buc' was so much larger than the Lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
