Re: E.E. Lightning Dual build
Righty'o - I finished the F.3 a little while ago, here are the finished pictures.
It didn't turn out looking too bad - better than I expected anyway. It would have been nice to have adding some stencils, but alas the kit decals were toast, so I had to use the AM ones I had for a T.4.
SO one down, one to go, although I haven't started the T.55 yet as it's missing a nose cone and I need to figure out how to scratch-build a replacement.
Cheers and thanks for looking.

Outstanding. You can see the proper foundation being laid down here, and I am taking notes. Cheers!portman wrote:Thanks for the kind comments Guys! The Lightning sure was a beast of an aircraft.
I've got most of the painting done - All brush painted with Humbrol Enamels. Just a few touch ups and the side panels to do before clear coating.
Cheers

And I knew responded earlier whilst you were in progress, but I needed to see your work again, Stuart. Looking good right from the first.speedgraflex wrote:Outstanding.

Thanks for all the comments guys! Glad you like it.
Bruce - you'd be amazed what you can do with a brush as long as you thin it right down and build up a lot of layers. Our fellow BSY here is a master with brush painting.

Brilliant work Stuart! That is looking most impressive! I hope mine looks half as good!
