Just stunning LA, as I said even though you had some problems the NM looks perfect in the photos!

LA, excellently done.
Great natural metal finish you achieved there. Is that a pair of red maple leafs on the tail - any Canadian connection?
regards,
Jack
LA, that was well worth waiting for, i love it. Really nicely finished and love the look of the NMF.
Thank you for taking part, and look forward to seing you in the Commonwealth GB.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3
And a very nice something it is there too Stik.
And here are the Lightning photos, finished at last!
The new Airfix Lightning is a good kit, a few fit issues around the cockpit and some monster ejection pins marks, but otherwise great. I caused some problems by not getting the primer coat nice and glossy, but clear sailing apart from that. The kit decals went well over the Vallejo metal coat.
Bish, again thank you for running another great GB. Although I joined later, I watched the builds with interest. Some time soonish I will get to the Commonwealth GB, so see you there...
I agree Stik, somthing there is better than nothing.
Yeah, it's a very nice looking gunsight SP.
(Not that I'd like my tail in the middle of it).
Thanks Bish. It’s from a generic 1/48 RAF/FAA set by Reheat. Great to have for those little missing details such as this. It may not be accurate, but it’s better than what was there before or nothing at all.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

That site looks really well done Stik.
And the forward progress has resumed!!!!
Nothing too substantial, but I did get some Tamiya Gray Liquid Surface Primer airbrushed on over the PE brass that I added last.
More to come soon....
Nice offer Eric.
I did the same thing and concur with your opinion. I've got my photos on their organised nicely into albums and collections too.
Cheers
Tony
I'm just taking it one GB at a time.
LA: Great job!!! The NM looks soooooooo good!!!
A model boat is much cheaper than a real one and won't sink with you in it.
That looks great LA, just like all the other models you display here.
Bish Great finish LA, can't wait to see those final pics.

Wow, stik, that gunsight would send me cross eyed!
So I put the wheels on the Lightning and was worried it could be an *** dragger:
But with everything installed up front it levels out well. So after a bit more work, the lightning is complete:
And I will take some good photos outside in natural light in the next couple of days for my closing post.

Sorry Bryyn, this GB closed on the 1st April, we just have a few unfinished builds carrying on. But on Tues will start its follow up GB, aircraft of the Commonwelath which of course includes all things RAF.

Be happy to have you join in there.
Hey!
I'm not sure how long this GB is going for and/or if it's too late to enter, but if I can I'll enter with Airfix's 1/72 Folland Gnat T.1.
It'll give me a chance to try out a NMF for the 1st time :)
Bish That gun sight looks intricate, nicley done.

Yeah, nice work on the gunsight there!
Lost, your Lightning is looking very sharp! I really like that blue spine.
I added a few more PE pieces into the cockpit area of my Vampire: a brace for the armor plate at the rear and a gunsight for the front portion.
GameraGreg: Enjoy your vacation, the bench will be waiting when you get back. Have a drink with a little umbrella in it and some alligator wings for me!
Will do, Cliff. Thanks!
LA: Looks great to me!!!

LA, that is looking sharp with the decals on.
Hello Greg, thanks!
Just had a look and i can see what you mean.
taxtp Love that Lightning LA. I had a serious Lightning fixation years ago, and I think it's resurfacing. I bought the Trumpeter 1/32 F2A/F6 at a recent swap meet. The blue is right, what did you do the NMF with ? Cheers Tony
