This is my Airfix Lightning, built using the Neomega cockpit and Eduard photo etch sets.

The kit went together with no major problems and only some minor fitting was required for the cockpit tub. The model was painted with Alcad II and kit decals were used. These snuggled down with a single application of setting solution.

Panel lines were done with an oil wash and weathering using a Tamiya pack, then the model was sealed with a coat of Klear.  All in all an enjoyable build and one of my personal favorite aircraft. They just don't make them like they used to.
