ColinChipmunkfan Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Great representation of a sad Lightning, It is very realistic and well done and is a very different model to the usual run of Lightnings. It saddened me how quickly the A1 Lightning deteriorated. Each time I drove past it seemed to get a bit worse. Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Dyck Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I like these kind of abandoned plane. It makes me daydreaming. Especially when it’s so nicely done. I don’t miss the graffiti and I think they were not there in the beginning. The empty cockpit and the dented exhaust are spot on! thanks for sharing Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2lefthands Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 A bit of a scrapyard would be nice! Or, for some contrast, a polished black base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, for some contrast, a polished black base You are right. I started a scrapyard using some Airfix(?) lorries and a lot of my spares box. I figured that a scrapyard on the A1 would be likely to have aviation based stock. Then, quite suddenly, the muse left me and I binned all but the centrepiece. A base would have been a good alternative but it's too late now. I never go back to a finished piece. 13 minutes ago, 2lefthands said: Thats an amazing build, Bertie. Absolutely stunning! Thanks.

81-er Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 That's a great looking model. I remember seeing the inspiration many times on my jaunts up & down the A1 and always wondered what happened to her. I'm glad at least part of her is being saved James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
