Hi all,
Bought the Trumpeter 1/32 Lightning F1/F3 last week when I saw it at my LHS, on a whim. It looked so impressive and they are apparently getting hard to find.
Of course, now I start reading all the horrible stuff that has been written about it, and already regret my impulsive purchase!
I am no rivet counter, so if it looks the part I’m happy, but how was the overall fit on this kit for those that have built it? I won’t start adding the 5mm at the middle of the fuselage, nor am I planning on spending hours fixing the belly tank (my modelling time is too limited for that!)
Does anybody have any good input on how to fix the gap at the nose ring? I have seen Whirlybird do a resin nose for it, does that alleviate the 5mm gap you end up with at the front?
I also already ordered some resin bits for it (QB seat, some resin wheels and a metal probe) so I guess I am commited to building it.
