Phoenix673 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Built straight from the box. Very straightforward build and can highly recommend the Airfix Lightning kits. 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binbrook87 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) Very nice indeed! Your dio looks great too 👍👍 Yes it's a great kit...but getting scarcer by the minute hence the prices are rising steadily. If Airfix reissued it now I'm sure it would be 80 odd quid! 😳😳 Edited August 15, 2022 by binbrook87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaWeasel Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Was expecting an F-35 Lightning, was delighted to see the proper version. Love it, got XS901 on my bench needing the last few decals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davecov Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Very nice build of a lovely kit. 👍 I am currently building the F-1/F-1A/F-2/F-3 version of the Airfix 1/48 Lightning which I was lucky enough to buy two years ago on eBay for £23 including postage and came with lots of aftermarket bits and bobs. I would love to build the F2A/F6 version as well but second hand prices seem to have gone loopy. Come on Airfix, re-release this one!

The prices do seem to be on the rise Dave, I have a couple in the stash which I'll get around to eventually? pretty much like the Trumpeter 1/32 Lightning (as bad as it is!) with regards to rocketing prices. No doubt Airfx will re-release the Lightning but with a big price hike (probably) Can't beat a Lightning in natural metal finish! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
