Dr. Quack Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Admirable, and I really like the grey Lightning schemes. Wouldn't it be great if Airfix would reissue it? Surely still a good seller and a good commercial move?? Hopeful Quack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritag Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Great build! Enjoyable WIP thread too. Certainly does the old girl full justice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binbrooksumpy Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Fabulous job on fab aircraft. A bit of history if you like. I did a Check 3 major service on this very aircraft in ASF before it was repainted in that camo scheme and sent to 5 Sqdn. It had previously been stored in ASSF (later LESF) in grey/green camo where it had been robbed extensively. It took a lot longer than the 90 days to complete the major servicing but it looked fabulous in its new (quite rare) colour scheme. I think the painters used DSG on top surface rather than the then more typical MSG. Anyway you have done justice to a fab kit and fab aircraft 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 Thanks @Binbrooksumpy, great to see reminisces from those who served, it brings these kits to life. Nice that it brought you some memories back too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
