Thank you all for having a look.

Nice work colin, i really must get round to doing a nat metal lightning soon, cheers tony

Well this little 1:72 has been a nice little experiment. I do fancy a 1:48 F104, with a proper polished finish. What am I saying, there's a 1:72 nmf B17 sitting behind me.

weathering problems

Phil, yes That would probably have worked. Great for access panels etc.


So, decals are done. These little critters took forever. Anyway, having finished them, I had to weather them slightly, just to make them a little bit worn out. This is a well used lightning which might be due a major service soon.
