1/72 Airfix English Electric Lightning F.2A - 19 Squadron, Royal Air Force, Germany, Gutersloh, 1974

Just finished this off,OOB. Not sure how old this kit is but it is a very nice kit and goes together well.

Painted with MIG acrylic (Dark Green), AK Xtreme metal (Aluminium) and Humbrol Cockpit green for the intake cone. Other paints used - Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics. Flory dark dirt wash, and Vallejo satin varnish.

Really nice work! Those curved colour demarcation lines at the front wing roots look like a bear to mask and paint- but she looks flawless!

Nicely done, that is an excellent looking Lightning.

Looks great, it came out really nice.

BK

Very nice build!

Mike

What a fantastic job you’ve done, the paint job is superb!

Toshi

Excellent!

Great looking build, I do prefer them in this colour to the NMF. Really nice job.

Damn good. I’ve got an Airfix 1/48 in the stash to do in the same squadron colours.

Thank you everyone

wow - that is very very nice indeed!! Skills

Not a big fan of the Lightning, but you did mighty fine work on this one, Grant.

Im guessing this is a newer Airfix release, judging by the engraved lines and better looking detail.
