Who else looks at tis image and instantly thinks about the one at the RAF museum in Hendon ?

Right, considering this done - well I’m waiting for the replacement pitot tube to arrive but that is minor.

Maybe my next build will be Lightning over Tatooine

That does look nice Neil. Great job.

Very nice! Maybe one day I will pluck up the courage to do one silver

[Neil]

Thanks - but I can see the missiles are crooked!

it was an exercise really in trying to display an aircraft in flight so I think that worked out well. I know I can do this with acrylic rod as well which I will try on something else. The silver ones in flight do look pretty good though. There are a few Eduard Mig-21’s that are silvered, so one day I’ll get one to try as well with an acrylic rod.

Neil, a great build missiles and all.

[Jim R]

A great result. You've certainly captured the iconic Lightning look with the in flight display.

Very nice work indeed.

Nice work Neil. Aircraft in flight mode, have that 'something extra' about them.
