I gather you're not really a fan of PE then looking good mate.

It's brilliant stuff, it's just too fiddly and a bit unnecessary for me. while researching how to apply the stuff I saw some incredibly amazing detail added with etch, sure adds to any build

YEA so am i as i cant stand this P/E as i found out on my vullcan gun for my tomcat as when i treid to fit the gun barrels through the tiny bits of P/E its just all bent up an was useless as it was way to thin so had to scrap that part of the P/E an use the kits plastic mountins so P/E NO WAY FOR ME an yes i liked P/E for that large radar on my tiger as that was managable but any p/e parts now i just dump

Nice work Miko. Did you add any nose weight. Most Lightnings do require it.

They certainly do, I crammed as much lead in the nose cone radar thingy and behind the cockpit too, should be enough I think
