That's a really nice looking model Derek. The paint finish looks very smooth and the intake/jet pipe blanks make a huge difference to the overall appearance.

Thanks, this really was an enjoyable build. You may have noticed the grey rod between the under fuselage tanks as although I added 1/2 a ton of lead flashing into the nose it still tail sat. |

Great job! I must add one of these to my 85Sqn collection. I think it's a problem of the era Del. All British aircraft of the 50's were tailsitters, no matter how much weight you cram in. Obviously still thinking about the war.... |

Great job as always Del, I don't know how you get brush painting to look so good. I still think the Jav is a fuggley aircraft though! Si. |

Thanks for all the comments, much appreciated. Having built a couple of Lightnings I should really get another Tony. |
