Pantherhawk27263 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) This is a Sword 1/72 Lightning finished as an F.3. As always, there are things I wish I had done better but I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Pantherhawk27263 Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 I realize that now. Thanks for letting me know. I have been using Scalemates to post my pictures to and then hotlink them but that appears to no longer work. All my other posts now do the same thing. I'll have to use another option.

Procopius Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Scalemates appears to be down, I wonder if that's part of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantherhawk27263 Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 They are working again, sort of. If you click on them you can see them, however they used to show up as an embedded image, not a link to the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Did you know that Sword released one of their Lightnings as an F.3? It had the 56 Squafron red white checked tail. Even though they suggest it was bareetsl with red checks????!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, everything in the box is identical, except the etch for making up the cockpit instrumentation, as I recently learned, the F.3 having a noticeably different cockpit layout to the earlier marks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually a very nice kit to build with very little problems. The two worst were the ambiguous instructions on where the place the engine front and the way the nose wheel attaches. I wound up misplacing the engine front and the nose wheel popped off several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
