Very cool looking builds both - The lightning looks very smart in black!

Finished.
English Electric Lightning F.Mk.8, 899 Naval Air Squadron, HMS Ark Royal 1977.

NOTE: Description of aircraft is obviously fictional to some degree. Did use Sea Vixen markings and just picked Ark Royal. F.Mk.8 is my idea as the RAF single seat VG Lightning I gave the Mk.7 designation to.
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!! :lol:

So then Chaps - just looking at the GB/SB calendar, it would appear that this build is still current.

Does anyone have anything else to add, or shall I ask John to close it?

Personally I really enjoyed it, we had some superb builds built in a nice relaxed Manner - Great stuff!

Thanks to all those who took part.

Cheers

Ok. If I ever finish my F2 I will put it in my workbench thread.

It was a lot of fun. Thanks.

Although I like the Lightning a lot, especially in 92 sqdn markings, I don't have anymore to do just at the moment.
