Back in the Saddle Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 A belated RFI, for a model I finished last month... It was part of the recent 'Interceptors' GB and the build thread is here if you want to see it come together. I took advantage of the sunlight this morning and grabbed some shots - hope you like them! It was a great kit to build and one I thoroughly enjoyed. As ever, comments or critique are welcomed! 52
Chrisj2003 Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 Matt, loving this, great NRM, worth the wait. The photos make the main legs look splayed out. Hoping they’re not. Chris 1

This scheme was the obvious one for me to choose from the three provided in the kit, just because it had a splash of colour. Natural sunlight certainly enhances the nmf too! 2
Gary Brantley Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 Great looking Lightning sir! She looks fantastic sitting in that sunlight. 1
gazza l Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Very neat work. I like the nmf, it's got that oxidised worn look to it. gazza l 1

Thanks Gary. It was the sunlight which finally spurred me into action to get the photography done!😄 On 17/04/2021 at 23:19, RMCS said: Lovley Thank you!

It works, but I won't do that again unless I'm planning on a weathered looking machine! On 18/04/2021 at 12:19, F-32 said: Great work and lovely photography Thank you! 1
Plasticbasher Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 Beautiful model, beautiful photos. Hope the undercarriage is fixable- I’ve got a few wonky legged efforts in the cabinet!
Farmerboy Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 That’s lovely, looks so good, it’s a model I’m looking to build, you have inspired me to get on with it! 1
