SteveH Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Looking forward to seeing this ! Been to Brunty many many times before and love the way their Lightnings on full chat can destroy your innards very well. Never thought my lungs could produce Drum n Base sounds !

Chek Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 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).

tomprobert Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Wow… this is micro-surgery of the highest order! That seat looks fantastic so far - I can’t wait to see it with some paint on. Tom Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Derek, the seat is looking so good that it's immaterial if an aircraft ever gets built around it! I can see years of survival equipment handling coming to life in miniature - lovely to watch. Are you going to pack a chute for the horseshoe pack?
