LSP_K2 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Yes it's true; I'm post happy!, (it's a sickness I suppose, really). At any rate, several eons ago, I decided to have a go at the Revell Lightning; depicted are the results. All of these photos are from scanned prints, as I didn't have a digital back then. First up, some extra detailing was added to fuselage area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Gun bay was also scratched. Not real sure if I’ll ever do this much work again. New bay doors also had to be built as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Painted up. One of the ammo cans was made to be removable, as this bird was destined to be undergoing re-armament; never happened though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
