Lightning T.Mk.4, 92nd Squadron., XM995

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

Soeren R.
Really nice work so far! Count me in! Curious how the Sword kit is

Christian Lehmann
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.

Kerry COX
If it's snowing there now, Don't go near yellow snow LOL 🙂 Looking forward to the pics mate.

Kerry COX
LOL. Do I REALLY have to explain that one Mike ? 🙂 I wouldn't eat it :-/

Kerry COX
And all this in a 1/72 kit. just great mate. ! 🙂

Bill Gilman
Nice work, Christian! How was the kit to build? 👍 👍 👍

Mats Bengtsson
What a beautiful Lightning.

Pierre-Christian Baudru
Very nice build !

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
Toll geworden! Der Lack 👍

Christian Lehmann
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.

Kerry COX
It's coming along nicely Christian and will be something to look at when all is done mate. 🙂

Soeren R.
Which colours did you use for the "metallic-look"
Edit: Ok forget the question 🙂
Btw. the finished Lightning looks awesome😉

Holger Kranich
Awesome build, Lemmy! I love it!

Gerald

Philip De Keyser

Greetz, Phil

Christian Lehmann
Many thanks for so many kind comments. This will motivate me for the next project whiich will be the F.2A Airfix kit completly in NMF with markings of the same unit.

Martyn Fox
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🙂

Stefan Fraundorfer
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.

Christian Lehmann
@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.

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

Christian Lehmann
The base is finished now. As promised some new pic have been added. For the intake cover the part of the Airfix kit is used.The ladder is from Eduard, the rest from Flightpaths RAF airfield diorama set.

Es-haq Khosravi

Burkhard D

Harry Eder
It´s very nice!

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

Christian Lehmann
Thank's again.
@Ulf: Not the nicest but one of the most interestkng designs.

Choppa Nutta
looking good

Christian Lehmann
Thank's Choppa!

Bill Spargo
Very nice build

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

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

Christian Ristits
Fantastic paint job Christian!

Christian Lehmann
Thank's. Have you been in Ried?

Christian Ristits
Hallo christian, wir haben es leider nicht geschafft...warst du auf der Messe?

Christian Ristits
Zu schade...hätte euch gerne dort getroffen und eure Modelle mal im Original bewundert!

Excellent job.

Christian Lehmann

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

Michel Huijghe
I'll take my hat off for such a model.
