Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Tim,
Well, I can definitely see the Spitfire camo scheme in there. As you say, it must have taken a bit of head scratching to adapt it to the Lightning. Lovely stuff!

Re: Tim's BoB Lightning
Thanks for the comments guys.
There are still one or two bits and bobs to do but I have been working on it this evening and thought I'd post a few pics before the GB closes.
I'm thinking of repainting the canopy frame Dark Earth as the black stands out a bit too much for my liking.

Great build, which leads one to ask "Why didn't they?'

Re: Tim's BoB Lightning
I like that very much indeed and may have to borrow the idea along with Maverick!

Re: Tim's BoB Lightning
After adding serial numbers and painting the canopy frame Dark Earth the Lightning is finished.
I enjoyed this build and am thinking of building a BoB Luftwaffe Starfighter to go with it. Thanks to Martin for suggesting and leading the GB.

Yep, that is officially great!
And I'm going to try that myself, along with a Desert Storm F6
