A really great trio John and the NMF has come out well from what I can see - all too often aircraft like this are finished by modellers with a shine good enough to shave in! They'll look great feeding off the Victor! Very well done for finishing these, as well as that monster of a Victor, within the GB time frame.

(It helps not to fit the refuelling probes before applying the underwing serial codes - oh, I see that you maybe found that out the hard way ;-) )
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Work is the curse of the modelling classes!

Great group of planes. Look more somehow more real there being more than just one of them. Reminds you of the pictures showing these fighters in close formation.

Great looking Lightning trio. They should look good behind the Victor.
