I am so excited to start this iconic fighter build. Although I have trainer version. 🙂 I want to make just OOB build with rivetting the surface and adding some cables into landing gear bays and into the cockpit. As this is something fully out of my scope, I have no ambitions to correct any shape issues or anything else. This will be just kind of a parrot in my display attracting all visitors - including me 🙂

Great entry, Martin! Looking forward to it!
This is a good kit, Martin. Shapes are good, I had a good time with the one I did (photo attached)

Hi Tom, that sounds really cool. I like the scheme you chose, also very attractive. In case you have any advice during the build, I really appreciate it.
A great aircraft, Martin @naviatik Really looking forward to your build.
This should be a cool build, Martin (@naviatik). I just read an article in one of the aviation magazines about this plane, so I am looking forward to your build.
I already rivetted tail and elevators. When looking at wings I noticed that most lines were IMHO made up by Sword... No blueprint shows anything at least close to kit. Therefore I filled the troublesome ones with putty. I do rivet fuselage meanwhile.
Great choice, Martin. I love Lightnings.
Although it requires some sanding, it is a good decision, Martin @naviatik
You are off to a serious job, Martin, which will result to accurate panel lines!
Lots of work to fix the panel lines, Martin (@naviatik). Good luck.
I have just re-scribed upper starboard wing. The port upper side is pre-drawn, waiting for tomorrow. I had to find out which version I must use as reference type, because there is no scheme for T. 4. I selected version 1.A. from which was this trainer developed. You can clearly see the big difference between box version and correct panels.
This will be a treat to follow! I’ve always loved the Lightning. Your work looks great.
Precise work done as always, Martin @naviatik
You are doing a really fine job there, @naviatik!
