1/72 Airfix Lightning F3

--------------------

 

This is a reworked model of my favourite aircraft, "The Lightning".  It has been rescribed using the methods found in the "tips" section, Aeroclub replacement seat, undercarriage, jet pipes and nose ring.  Painted using Tamiya aerosols with Cutting Edge decals to represent an F3 of 56 sqdn circa 1967.

It is pictured with an F1.A 56 sqdn,1963 and an F2 92 sqdn,1966 making a colourful collection.
