Album info
Here is my finished Lightning F2a XN776 (Charlie) serving with 19 Squadron, RAF Gutersloh, posed pre-flight on Friday 15 February 1974.
The model is a 1/32 scale Trumpeter Lightning with extensive modifications. These modifications include stretching the fuselage by 5mm, correcting the profile and extending the length of the fuel tank, correcting the profile of the dorsal spine, correcting the ‘pinched’ area to the rear of the fuselage, correcting the stance by modifying the undercarriage, modifying the fuselage sides around the cockpit area and extending the canopy framing, scratch building an in-flight refuelling probe and modifying the fins on the fuel tank. There are numerous additions to the cockpit but you should be able to spot these in the photos. The modifications required considerable ‘surgery’ on the original kit and took me around two years to complete (on and off build!)
