Chek Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 A highly creditable effort on the Martin-Baker machine, but sadly the seat is the least of the the Trumpeter Lightning's problems needing correction. Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Check. Yes, I fully appreciate the aspects of the kit faults. Apart from the canopy shape and position issue, I should be able to correct most of the other more visible errors as I go along (I have already sectioned the fuselage and aft ventral fuel tank in preparation).
