1/48 Airfix Lightning
Calling this one done, not 100% happy with it, but that’s more down to me than the kit.

Well, it’s a splendid Lightning, Malcolm. I do wish you had more pictures, though.

So where’s the fakakte? I can’t see it. Looked hard. All I can see is standard-issue good model making work.
Very nice result. Another excellent Lightning model.

Thank you, you are to kind
There are a few little faults, the wing lights for some reason don’t fit correctly, the undercarriage is a bit wobbly, as I had to put a fair bit of weight in the nose to keep it down once the tail was fitted, and a few others, as I say not the kits fault, as it’s a great kit, may have to make a couple more 😂

Malcolm, I like it ! It might not feel right to you, but that’s just you being a model guy !
I do like your comment about “may having to make some more”. I use that excuse quite often !
Malcolm Ireson said on September 16, 2018
Yep
I use it all the time with my wife
She just smiles and says yea….alright!!!

Oh, Tom, it’s been a while since I heard the phrase ‘fakakta’ – made my (Shabbat) morning. The Lightning is great, Malcom, and as Tom will tell you, just like Hollyweird, what the camera doesn’t see doesn’t exist!
