Build thread http://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/joes-1-72-lightning-f2a-airfix-1-72.27112/

Finally completed the Lightning last week, sans missiles. Enjoyed the build, despite the earlier challenges with the intake, cockpit and forward fuselage. All OOB except the prominent pitot tube which is fashioned from brass wire. Hope you like it.

Thanks Tony, I look forward to seeing your version. It's a really attractive scheme on the shelf, stands out amongst the usual drab schemes.

Great result Joe. It looks ready to pounce up into the sky .

Cheers Colin. Glad you enjoyed the tail stand shots
