However, after such a long wait for a decent Lightning to come out, I have to say I'm very happy Airfix have done a great job of my favorite aircraft of all time. Not quite back to where I was with modelling but its going in the right direction...
There is an accuracy issue if you are fitting four guns - you cannot fit missiles or missile pylons as the lower gun pack completely replaces the missile pack. References on this are scarce so easily missed. I filled the holes for missile pylons and I really like the ultra-clean look.
Another criticism is the decals. Great colours yes, but unless I was doing something very wrong I really had to use large amounts of Microsol to get them to settle...and the under wing serials are too big! Really small issues and despite my low modelling enthusiasm I thoroughly enjoyed this kit. Can't wait for the F.6!
"Lightning Force" by Fred Martin shows your aircraft with the twin cannons mounted!
