Just recently I have built two jets,you can count on the fingers of one hand the number of non piston models I have built.The first is by Tamiya and in an odd scale 1/100. And the second by Airfix in the proper scale of1/72.Both models were painted by brush with acrylics and did not bother the filler tube.

Nice pair. I'd never have guessed they were brush painted.

Re: A tale of two Lightnings
Very nicely done with both of these, Ken. I do like a nice Lightning (English Electric or Lockheed P-38!).
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Re: A tale of two Lightnings
That's a superb finish on both of them. Very inspiring builds.
