Beastly Beauty Sword 1:48 EE Lightning 92 Sqn.

February 7, 2025 · in Aviation · · 11 · 208

This is my 1:48 Sword Lightning T.4 that I recently completed. 92 Sqn. based at Gutersloh Germany. A nice kit to that needs to be built with care. Not a throw it together kit by any means, but I was able to make something that sits suitably on my shelf. If I can do it, well, you can too! Like those Lightnings!

  1. An excellent result, Chris @champagnecrc
    Definitely a beauty.

  2. Excellent Lightning, Chris!

  3. Lovely Lightning, Chris.

  4. NIce work. A kit that isn't easy, but is worth the effort when you get to the final result.

    • I have to say I enjoyed the build. Was expecting real problems, but a little forethought on my part, which for me is in itself a challenge, and it came out okay. 1:48 Airfix Lightning in this green is next.

  5. A lovely Beast that is! Well done.

  6. Thanks to all for the kind comments. After my initial hesitancy to share my builds, I am encouraged. Of course the camera can blur my errors but it is what it is, amirite?

  7. That looks very nice ! You did a great job building & painting it. I’ve never built a Lightning (other than a P-38).
    Seeing yours makes me want to add one to my mountain of kits.

  8. Very nice. I've always preferred the two seater. Hopefully a mainstream lit maker will get on it

  9. Nice Lightning!
