Airfix 1/48 EE Lightning F-6 Full Build 

Many thanks!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for the visit

Thanks, I like the weathered look.

I'm sure they will. It has a few fit issues, or at least I did, and the cockpit is a bit sparse but the panel line detail is crisp and up to modern standards.

this kit was a significant improvement in moulding quality for Airfix at that time but it still has its issues

@@DarkStarProjects-hw2hn yes. Very much in keeping with it’s reputation.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks 👍 I filled the air intake internal section, the area in front of the instrument panel and the area behind the ejection sheet with small metal shot pieces. I dropped the model slightly when I was gluing these and now it rattles if you shake it. I chose the Firestreaks because the seeker head is a unique shape and a terrific little moulding which seemed a shame not to use. The instructions didn't disallow the combination but do suggest that Red Top is probably the expected choice.

I'm sure it will be released again...you would build a shiny foil covered version no doubt :-)

@@DarkStarProjects-hw2hn oh indeed, I would try, but not sure it would work at this scale.

Thanks for the info...one for next time.
