Fishbed Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I built this along with its Mk3 companion as a double build to finish the 1/2/2a/3/T4/T5/6 set. Anyway, nice little kit. Plently of detail in the cockpit, resin engine nozzles. As usual with these kits a bit of fiddling needed to get everything lined up. I replace the ejection seat with a Barracuda version. Master nose probe. Nose wheel and strut Barracuda as the kits were short-shots. I based this kit on photos of one of the 19 Squadron aircraft fitted with the 30mm weapons pack for something a bit different. The markings and codes came mainly from the spares box. The blue/white checks I did by paining the blue and using white checks from fantasy printshop on top. Alclad in various shades for the metalwork. Anyway onto the pics - Tim 46 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Another nice Lightning and again. some thinned black wash to the wheels will add that little bit more to the model. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done. Yes, you are right. I was going to use the Barracuda resin wheels, but due to various factors (life etc) I ended up using the kit wheels and missed that step out. I'll fix that some time Tim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binbrook87 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Just like your F3....a really great result that you've achieved. Nice to see this scheme for a change as it always seems forgotten when compared to the more colourful squadrons 74, 56, 111 etc. Love it! 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
