AnonymousAA72 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I managed to finish models....... My 1/48th F1a was reduced to spares some time ago - following a very heavy landing.....:-( The T4 is still intact, though the decals have yellowed now :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
model_madness Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Good stuff, gotta love those BMF birds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary West Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 well there's a surprise. Only yesterday I pulled out some old SAM's dating from 1999 2 of which were your write up's on the Lightning (part 1 & 2). I was a bit gutted to read that your T5 conversion fit very nicely - I'm working on one right now, and it's a bitch to say the least. Nice work as always anyway Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Love the single seater Damn, the paintwork on the twin is gaudy! Still good though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Love the Lightning. I've got one in the stash and want to do a BMF bird. But I need to get some skills up so I can do it justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousAA72 Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Same here... guess I'm just chicken Calum/Mike, Both of those were painted in Halford's Aluminium! I too was a "chicken" with regards to BMF finishes until I came across Halfords!! It dries in nano-seconds and can be masked - I simply sprayed a mist of SnJ (I think) or maybe even Metalcoat on certain panels... For my next "Silver machine" I'm going to attempt using Halfords and Alclad........That Alclad is the bees dangly bits (or should that be the dogs knees!!!)

EE Lightning Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Hi Bill - That's finally confirmed it - yet more Lightnings and I know I've gone to heaven!!!! Really nice jobs Bill. Your 2-seat is especially impressive - you don't see too many of these made up. Nice one. When I get my photography setup sorted in the next couple of weeks, I'll get some of my images up for you guys. Best wishes, Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nev Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I remember those articles! In fact, your 2-seater inspired me/gave me the courage to have a bash @ the Aeroclub conversion myself. You were right - the ideal first conversion for a modeller (vacform canopies excepted ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
