iggie's Thunderbolt of Lightning ***FINISHED***

[iggie]

My GB entry:
Hasegawa RAF Mk II Thunderbolt No. 73 OTU

I've even bought some zinc chromate for the interior

It's the top one on the box art:


Sprues and decals

[DazDaMan]

Like it!

I got this a while back. It was on special offer from Japan. Looking forward to seeing you build it.

We got ours at the same time Toby IIRC; Hobbylink wasn't it?

Yes we did. I think you got yours a few weeks before I did although we ordered them about the same time. Only fitting you should start yours first.

Got off to a flying start this evening and painted the internals with the required zinc chromate
Then realised that I'd started the wrong one!
That'll teach me to put things back in the stash if not actually being built
So, start for real tomorrow

[Old_Tonto]

Oh great choice. I will have to get me that boxing.

[Zee28]

Loving that colour scheme Iggie, nice!

[lancfan]

Now that is a different colour scheme iggie, good choice.

David.

We have progress: Zinc chromate applied; I'm using Vajello Air with a brush.

So there



Actually there's a bit more than shown above as the wings are now glued together but not yet attached to the fuselage

[TobyC]

I did the same with the same as well

[iggie]

A little more progress:

I like the display nameboard that comes with the kit

[DazDaMan]

Nice touch!

[Marek]

Considering how many of us build hasegawa's jug, we should have a group build of a nameboard
But seriously, you're speeding along quite nicely

[Kitaholic]

looking good, remember skinning this one for IL-2 many moons ago
