chrish Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 Inspired by Cruzz's link to his build, I've added a few bits of wire to the payload bays. Not to the level of detail of his but a bit more than the kit. This is mostly wire left over from the build of my house when the builder brought in "phone land lines" and glued into the model; the intakes seams seem pretty good and my other project, brought about by a failed heat exchanger in my radiator allowing coolant into the transmission fluid necessitating a rebuilding of the 4T65E in my old monte carlo...like a model but bigger, dirtier and heavier Thanks for looking Memphis, scott_t, Alain Gadbois and 21 others 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Great work on this one! I do have to say the intake design on this kit is smart! Having the seam in the corner vs runing down the middle of the side walls is so simple yet as been missed by most kit manufacturers!! Fun fact even the new trumpeter kit did it the old way!

chrish Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 Im back. enjoying the warm weather and tinkering on the Lightning in the evening. the intakes and engine are a very snug fit, a bit of sanding trimming was done to ease the fit. upper and lower dry fit in progress; upper and lower glued together; Thanks for looking HerculesPA_2, patricksparks, blackbetty and 21 others 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Very impressive work, the colours seem to change quite a bit depending on the light on the real aircraft, when I come to build mine, I'm also going with what looks right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
