This looks to be a most fascinating build Christian. From what I have seen in the 'plumbing' department, it will be good. 🙂

Many thank's for your kind comments mates. The base is not finishey yet => some pics will follw. But when I arrive at home from work it is dark in germany. So the only chance to take some photos without flash is at the week end. Because I will be at the exhibition in Ried next WE it will last some time till I can take them.

Thanks again.
@ Bill: No real problems. It seems tha not all of the pannel lines are correct but this is something for nitpickers. The grey putty on the pictures is Mr.Surfacer 500 which was enough to close the gaps. On on two position (rear cockpit wall and front wheel weel) it was necessary to use Tamiyas white putty. To build a T.4 the cable ducts at each fuselage side have to be shortened. One problem ocuured at the end of the build when the seats did not fit inside the cockpit because of the seat belt buckles at the side of the seats made the seats to wide. I removed the non visible parts of the belts to solve this.

Lovely model Christian. I've just bought this kit for my stash and when I get round to building it,it will be my first jet kit. Sometimes it's good to build something different🙂

Hallo Lemmy! Hab die Lightning schon auf der Seite vom Thomas gesehen und freue mich drauf sie in Ried live bewundern zu können. Ein sehr schönes Modell mit super Alterung.

@Stefan: Wann reist ihr an?
@ Matyn: Same with me. Britisch jets are normally not my subject but this kit has everything you need to build a well detailed o.o.b model and needs only small improvements.

Wir werden am Samstag um ca. 7.00 da sein. Von Linz brauchen wir nur etwa eine Stunde Fahrtzeit.

Very fine build of a very ugly jet (dont feel offended, just my personal opinion. 😉 )! 👍

Ist sehr schön geworden.
Btw. British aircrafts are not ugly, in other words they are curious/strange!!!

Thank´s Bill.
Danke Dirk. Ja, "strange" ist der rchtige Ausdruck. Für die hübschen jets sind die Franzosen ( mirage) zuständig.

Wow what a lightning man. Looks great and on that display even more. Didn't know that these kits come with all that extras. How is the shape of the kit?

Thank's for your kind comments.
@Aris:The fit is o.k. Not as good as from amainstrem company like Tamiya or Airfix but nothing that can't be solved.

Album info
This is the Sword Kit. The ratio between price and what you get when yo buy this kit is excelent. You get PU seats and nozzles as well as PE parts for the cockpit and antennas. The fit is o.k. with some unaccuracies at the nose cone front wheel bay section.
The Decals adhere very well. I started to build this kit in june but did not have the time to post some pics.
Now it is time to do this.
