A Russian bird if I got tempted....
Good stuff chaps.
I don't think I posted this, so here goes.
Sword 1/48th scale E.E. Lightning T4 and T5 kits are imminent, although no prices yet.
If they're anything like their 1/72nd scale series of Lightning kits, they should be excellent, and very reasonable, price wise - their fully detailed, including PE parts, 1/72nd scale lightnings are comparable in price to the basic (but very good) re-tooled Airfix kit.
And especially for Karl - Xtradecal have already released decal sheets for them, which include an OCU machine from Middleton St.George.
I think I'll definitely have to break my 'No More Kits' rule (again!!), and add one to the stash to be left to Karl and my daughter in my Will !
Good stuff Red Two. I think my brother has probably got some good colour shots of the M.St.G Lightnings, and I probably have some grainy B&W pics too, somewhere.
I really shouldn't get any more kits, as I have enough to get through - too many for my current state of health - but I was considering a later Lightning to add to the F1A anyway, maybe a F6 in camouflage, and a two-seater just has to be added to the list, especially one that was (at the time) a 'local boy' !!
and i did one in GB 17 David, they are not bad at all, nose area requres a bit of extra attention but they scrub up well I think.
