Just finished this one for the Secret Santa GB at Swanny's, and the NMF II GB here. Not much in the way of particulars, came with a mess of A/M goodies (pit, gearbays, exhausts), I used MM Metallizers and added only a few wires and scratchbuilt boarding ladder.
Really nice!
Amazing work there!
Fermis....now you`re showin` off.. That`s an awesome model...wish I could make my NMF`ers look that good!

D@mnhelll man, cut some some sprue already!!!
Wow...very nice, indeed!
That thing is so ugly it's beautiful...excellent definition on the panel lines, and the finish is stunning...overall, extremely impressive, man.
Cheers, LeeTree Remember, Safety Fast!!!
Pretty freakin cool, man. Looks like a guy could get in and fly it away.Keep it up.
Giggity.
fermis D@mnhelll man, cut some some sprue already!!!
Tell me about it!
If you are developing a taste for strange but beautifully European birds, the Viggen is a cracker (& Swedish as well!!), shame the best kit available is the Airfix (ESCI) 1/48th - it's the best simply because it's the only thing available 1/48.

Excellent Build . Thanks for sharing.

Great looking build. Did you use yellow decals around the canopy? When I was stationed in Germany I talked with a RAF F-4 crew chief that used to work on the Lightning. He said it was a mechanics nightmare. To remove or work on the top engine the lower one had to be removed.

WTF??? How the hell do you keep turning out these stunning builds so quickly? Have always had a soft spot for the Lightning, yours is the finest example I have seen of one. It just looks so real, how do you do it?
My hat is off to you fermis!

Simply beautiful! Obviously the work of a true master; congratulations of a superb model!

Thanks again all!!!
Berny, that is decals around the canopy, a malor pain to cut off all the excess clear film. I think there was more clear film on the sheet than there was that had color on it!!!
Daywalker WTF??? How the hell do you keep turning out these stunning builds so quickly?

It's who I am, it's what I do!!! Really though, I don't know, I just try to make the next one better than the last!
Holy #@!$#@!...you are a "man on fire"...that NMF is top-notch and even though I'm not crazy about the subject matter you made something I wouldn't normally take a 2nd look at something I've taken a 3rd look at...
Wally was a traitor...long live the "double-action"...
Beautiful job on your EE Fermis?

Love it! Sure wish I could do bare metal. Yours looks awesome.
On a side note, was watching a Science Channel program last night where the host was taken up to 68000 feet in a two-seat Lightning. He was showing the thin blue line of our atmosphere. Before he went up he said they told him the max altitude was clasified but could get to around 80000 feet. Something I read just now spoke about how a pilot took one to 88000 feet and intercepted a U2 in 1984. Interesting aircradft, may have to build one one of these days. Oh, and on the show last night, immediately after the plane left the ground he went verticle up to 18000 feet in seconds (according to the host). Looked like fun.

Hmmm, it has no props, but it suddenly intrigues me. (Just read an article about them in Flypast too.) Great job Fermis, the perfect NMF is obviously the result of the new airbrush... right?
On the bench: Airfix 1/72 Wildcat; Airfix 1/72 Vampire T11; Airfix 1/72 Fouga Magister
The new airbrush makes a world of difference!!!....I love it, and want to marry it!!!
I believe I saw that same program a while back. I've always dug the Lightning, kinda ugly, looks like a pregnant fish! One of my favorites, alongside the Jaguar....would love to find one in 48th.
Ooooh - Shiny!

Looks like your doing a pretty good job at that.
Excellent job on this one as usual fermis.
ooks great. The NMF looks very realistic. You know, the British come up with some of the best airplanes on the planet, and some of the coolest ones. But they have also come up with some of the strangest looking. I was never quite sure which category the Lightning fits in. Probably equal parts of both.
