Airfix 1/48 Lightning F.2A/F.6
One of the best Airfix models I built. Although it has some fit issues, the model is an excellent representation of the Cold War fighter.

An amazing result on this Lightning, Rafi @blackmopane
The NMF did turn out wonderful indeed.
One of the most impressive cold war fighters to my opinion.

Rafi:
You have done a wonderful job with this old Airfix kit. It is refreshing to see this kit built up to such a high standard.
Congratulations on your very fine efforts.
Thank you Marvin.
Nicely done. The plane was very unusual, but very neat looking to me.
Thank you Steve.
Indeed, it stands out in every display configuration (real aircraft and model.)
Great Natural Metal Finish on that Lightning aircraft build Rafi
Thank you kindly.
I like how this one turned out.
Thank you Dan.
Wonderful work again, Rafi, as usual! 🤩 @blackmopane, the NMF looks great! 👍
Thank you Gary!
That is a gorgeous finish! What fit issues caused you the most trouble? Would you build another of this kit, or would you rather wait for a new tooling?
Thank you Ramon!
Fit issues were common to other Airfix kits and Cold War jet models of many brands namely, the front intake cowling to fuselage, seams on fuselage halves and fuselage to wings.
I'm a big fan of the Lightning, and this one is a beauty! Wow!
Thank you Greg!
