You've done that justice Ian it looks beautiful :)

Is this the 1/48 version my 1/72 didn't have the in flight tanks ?
 
Lovely result Ian, especially considering the difficulties you went through with it. If I ever see one of these at a reasonable price I'll pick one up.
 
Really really nice Ian! I love that burnished look of the paintwork, it makes it look so realistic as it fits the scale so well.

That's an impressive example of one of the most impressive aircraft in history.

5 stars all the way.

Cheers Patrick
 
Great build Ian like Dave say's looks very good in the Alclad

I've yet to start mine

WOW! Thanks lads!

It's the 1/48 scale one Alan. Forgot to mention it in the header.

The Aclads went on well but I was not to happy about the wash. I used a different varnish than normal and it didn't rub off to easy, the wash that is, the Alclad rubs off very easy!

Still turned out well in the end. I had to repaint the tanks though as the wash took a good bite of the finish off!!

The next one is going to be a camo job thats for sure!

Hi Ian

Wow, that is one gorgeous Lightning!

Beautiful metal finish and the wash looks perfect to me.

Cheers

Looks lovely. NMF Lightenings really do it for me...
 
looks like i will have to have a chat with you.

I haven't tackled a plane with a silver base paint as it looks so difficult.

i want to build the b17 but silver?

well done that looks fantastic.
 
Great build Ian , I really must get round to mine , but Alclad scares the crap out of me ! Trouble is , with the Lightning being such an icon , I really want to do it justice, so until I'm satisfied I can get a top class NMF I'll leave it in the stash! cheers tony
