Papa 695's English Electric Lightning GB

[papa 695]

How about a Lightning GB any scale any scheme any add ons, but just a Lightning not a diorama or vignette.

 

[BBdave]

Good choice i've built one before and enjoyed it .


What's a vignette I Googled it but not sure.

I may be in on this one as I have one in the stash,i say maybe cause I don't want to over commit my self with GB's good choice but I will keep this as a reserve

What's a vignette I Googled it but not sure

If you ask me I would say a simple base. Just the subject and a supporting item or two.


I could be interested in this as I do like Lightnings. However I dont have one in the stash... got a conversion for a T4 or T6'er though. If the start date is a well into next year, I could say yes. So I'm interested....

I was thinking of 6 months starting after Ricks Phantom GB so June onwards

That's my interpretation of a vignette also Ian

By Lightning I take it you mean the wonderful English Electric Lightning but would you be allowing a P-38 or the F-35 Lightning II?


Either Way think I have a F1 somewhere in my Stash if not know where I can get one for this

I support this but wouldn't join in as I have built two in the recent past. Sorry.

 

[Ian M]

Just like the Phantom I have two already, both BMF. So time for a camouflage painted one, The start time with me would be fine. Gives me time to find room to put it somewhere... :/


If it's an English Electric Lightning build put my name on the list..

Nice point Richard I was thinking of just the English Electric Lightnings. Looks like I need to change the title.

If its any lightning, meaning P38 and f35 lightning ii, then count me in.


If its the english electric lightning I would have to say no.

Sorry Bob but thanks for showing an interest.

 

[papa 695]

Well I've got 4 ish takers any more out there?

 

[flyjoe180]

If the start date is a well into next year, I could say yes.

Me too, will need a later start date in 2017 to accommodate the Phantom. If all goes ahead I'll build this

Im in ! Ive had a 1/48 lightning in the stash for about 7 years , Ive never dared to start it for fear of mucking up the nat metal finish ! The Lightning in silver with the big red white and blue roundels is such an iconic image and a nostalgic reminder of seeing them at the finningley airshow as a kid , hence the importance of doing a good job on the kit , its a personal favourite so i wanted to make sure i could do it justice. The new  Vallejo metal colors seem to suit my building style so now (well next year!) is a good time to finally tackle it. add me to the list, cheers tony
