'tis quiet here - EE Lightning SB anyone? *** SB is Open ***

[Stuart]

Hi All,

Havng read the current conflab in the GB sections - I thought it might be nice to get some action going in this rather nice, but rather neglected part of UAMF.

Having kicked off something twice before - I'd thought I'd go for the hat-trick and try again and maybe actually finish the build this time (just please God no more Harriers!).

Once I finish my current builds (or there-abouts), the next on the pile is the Matchbox Lightning T.55 kit (and maybe the new tool Airfix F.2) - anyone fancy joining me for a E.E. Lightning SB - any kit, any scale?

(or any other ideas? - Just no Harriers!_ )

Cheers

Stuart

Any version, any kit of an EE Lightning?
If so I'll say yes.

I'd say so yes - it's always interesting to see how kits compare. What kits do you have Fred?

[fredk]

The ones I want to build include a Frog/Hasegawa F6, a Sword T5 and an Airfix new tool F2A, all 1/72

[Stuart]

That's an interesting selection of kits (I have the F.2A too) - when do you fancy starting?

[Kitaholic]

could be up for this but only one in the stash is the Airfix F.2A

[fredk]

... when do you fancy starting?

I'm quite chock-a-block until Christmas and the week after, but from Jan 1st I should be free to start anytime.
You could start anytime and I'll just join on in [?]
I might do the F6 first. It being a simpler kit.

No problem there Kit - you'd be welcome to join in.

That sounds good to me - I could open the thread now (ish) to kick things off (I want to get my current builds moved on a bit too) and then we could crack on with it in the new year.

Idea; Although its not top of my list, we could all start with the 2A

Mmm.... Could do - the T.55 is at the top of my build pile as I'm doing it for a friend - but I could do the F.2A at the same time.

[fredk]

idea; or we could do three different versions at the same time,

That would work for me, it can be quite interesting to see the diffrent marks and kits - that's what we did in the Airfix Harrier SB a few years back.

Any room for an old tool Airfix Lightning/Aeroclub E.E. P-1a conversion ?

After hanging several off my K-2 Tanker, I am down to one Lightning not named P-38-- the Whirlikits 1/72 T.5 resin job, is that allowable ?
I don't really want to start right away, I have some work & other priorities to get off the bench and holiday plans are unsure -- sounds like 2020 maybe just kidding, but I cannot start right away other than maybe paw over the box, check parts and decals.
