Pretty standard, but nonetheless
impressive 1/48 English Electric Lightning F.3, in 111Sqn markings from the
Airfix stable. Built straight OOB, with only a set of harnesses added to the
ejection seat, this kit has sat half-built and forlorn for the last 18 months,
until last week, when I dug it out, found all the bits, and decided to crack
on....Paint is by Halfords (Nissan Silver and Satin Black and Clear Laquer),
decals are OOB Airfix, and the only extra added was a set of harnesses for the
bang-seat.

I've finally decided
that picking over the finer details on every model was killing my enthusiasm for
the hobby. Sure, certain kits will get the bling-bling, but for the most part,
I'm going to be an OOB man, and accept those imperfections with a whimsical
smile!
Enjoy your modelling,
Alasdair
