discussion papa 695's EE Lightning Completed

[papa 695]

Finally got this one completed. I had the plane finished ages ago it just took some time to work out how to show it, I'm still not one hundred present happy with the base, I may just get a nice block of wood varnished yet.

But here it is for now I hope you like it

Beautiful.

 

[Guest]

That's very nice Ian, the head-on shot is particularly menacing!

I think the base is fine - maybe a backdrop photo to set it off?

 

[Steve Brodie]

Thats very cool, close in tail shot very nice.

"Pshhh,pshhh...EE Lightning Alpha one, landing on track two please!!!"

Cool and original! I like it very much Ian

 

[Guest]

Ouch!!! What a mistake (mine)!! It's hasn't opened the landing gear...

 

[Alan 45]

Nicely done Ian , I wanted to do that scheme but I can't paint all over silver

 

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

I think it looks great on the base it has now, great build

Stunning, just stunning, takes you right back to the 60's when this fighter was a new front line fighter...the looks the speed the elegance, a true fighter that looked the part and yet looked so beautiful. Top work, just amazing!

Superb work Ian matey, it looks fantastic screaming down the runway . The finish is top class , theres something about a silver lightning thats just magical , takes me back to the Finningley airshow when i was a kid , the 'lightning climb' was always something to see (and hear!!) great build , cheers tony

Brilliant. The in flight mode is great. Must build one of these sooooon...............

 

[Ian M]

Very nice indeed.

Love the base. At that height and speed he is going to get chewed off a new one when he lands.

Love it

Awesome build Ian. I like the base, it looks like he is about to go vertical.

 

[Guest]
