Airfix 1/72 English Electric Lightning F6

Next steps, pretty much add the pylons etc, flat varnish, decals and final clear coat. And, as the last picture shows, some touch up.

Oh, and look up how to bend the brass rod without a kink.

I managed to carelessly knock this after I had put on the front tube - shouldn’t have put it on until the end I know, but managed to snap it in half.

Anyone got any tips for fixing a very thin piece that needs to be straight?

I hate stencils. The decals themselves add a great deal but those itty-bitty stencils drive you mad and many wll never really be seen. At least you know they're there ;)
Looking very nice.
 
Looking good Neil, once those stencils are on you can relax. I think the stencils ad something to the look of a clean airframe like this, so they are worth applying even if they are fiddly.

The pics were taken yesterday so the decals had not set, checking today, they have settled in nicely and it is looking better, definitely better for the stencils.

We have plans this weekend coming so likely not finished for a few weeks yet (I only get time on Sundays).

- Stencils
- Varnish
- Externals
- fix the pitot tube!
