One of my favourite planes and your build is making me want to get the 2 unstarted models i have had in the loft for 15 years!

Hi Alistair - do it - despite all my grumbles there is nothing like a Lightning to stir the blood especially if you grew up with them. I remember seeing a big 16 formation flying at an RAF Coltishall Open Day many years ago - just awesome.

I also remember these days at airshows when they would suddenly come from the back of the crowd and pull vertically up on full reheat reverbating through your ribcage. I also was an air cadet visiting RAF Binbrook in 1973.

MICHAEL WOODHOUSE
Me too - was an Air cadet at RAF West Raynham - probably late sixties I think - they were flying Hunters then - another iconic aircraft - the airfield has been shut for a long time now and looking very sorry for its self.

Looks good so far🙂 is the seat all scratch?

MICHAEL WOODHOUSE
Thanks Augie - no I am not that good - its a Quickboost item - super detail but cockpit walls need shaving to make fit.

Augie
Ahh I had that problem with the Aires seat for the draken.. 3 mm to wide.. had to shave the seat

Michael, What were the 'metalic' paints you used to create all the different metallic differences I see here in this beautiful build please mate ? 🙂
19 February 2015, 20:06
MICHAEL WOODHOUSE
Hi Kerry - thanks for your interest and comments - Alclad2 Chrome for most areas - Duraluminium for odd panels - Magnesium for exhaust - Bare Metal Foil for Nose Ring and also exhaust surround + odd panel. Alclad Klear Kote Light Sheen which dulled everything down and finally Tamiya X-22 to seal before minimal washes/weathering - hope that helps - Bare Metal Foil brilliant but have to persevere and try several times untill right result achieved . hope that helps

Mike, Thanks for the paint info, and I am yet to work with Alclad as I have used Testors for years but I need to experiment, Thank you. 🙂I did two 1/32 Tamiya Mustangs in BMF mate. But I am so impressed with your results here and I am now looking at getting the BAE bird now, as you have convinced me they come out well. 🙂

That sounds a great idea Mr Hickey.....................WHEN ??????

Augie
I love the build.. and like the idea of a group build.. an excuse to get another
19 February 2015, 22:17
MICHAEL WOODHOUSE
Thanks guys - if I did another one it wont be NFM! Kerry - I used Alclad Black Base but couldnt get the high gloss finish I wanted - maybe me but others suggest a different similar coat works as well. It dries almost on contact and is hard to get that wet look without orange peel - need to practice on a scrap model I guess and be brave!
19 February 2015, 22:27
Kerry COX
Woody, I have heard that the undercoat is so important and more pressure for the alclad to avoid the dreaded OP effect. Thanks for the heads up mate.

March sounds good Mike. Just ping me when you are ready, as I am ALWAYS ready LOL 🙂 BTW, are you being affected by this cyclone moving down the coast yet ?

Augie, would you have seen and heard these where you lived ?

Clifford Keesler
I would like to get in on that GB,but like Augie I have to get my 104 first.
20 February 2015, 19:50
Augie

20 February 2015, 19:55
Clifford Keesler
I still need to get mine. I will get mine this payday. I have the Revell Tornado, I need to get the PE for the cockpit and some resin seats.
20 February 2015, 20:00
Kerry COX
I am in exactly the same boat here, In having to "Aquire" all those things mentioned by all of those keen to be part of the GB. But I will. 🙂
20 February 2015, 20:36
Augie

20 February 2015, 20:40

Kerry COX
Augie. Wasn't she a well dressed girl over the years. !! And I am so impressed.

I was thinking of bare metal foil coverage, but now you have posted those gems, I will have to rethink that effort.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm 🙂
20 February 2015, 21:06
Clifford Keesler
Yea Augie can come up with some wild camo schemes,LOL. But some of them are really neat.
20 February 2015, 21:22
Augie

20 February 2015, 21:26
Kerry COX

MICHAEL WOODHOUSE
Many thanks Gentlemen - Next one will be the Wingnut Wings Hansa Brandenburg W.12 early floatplane - cant wait to have something thats fits together without the fill/sand/rescribe grind - I know I am a lightweight modeller-ha.

Barry Lloyd
Good work Mick, the metal finish looks spot on, I should think you're pleased with how its turned out.
22 February 2015, 21:27
MICHAEL WOODHOUSE

Aron Christian Aronsen
Lord have mercy! Awesome build! Inspiration 😄
23 February 2015, 15:00
Cristian Bordina
Wonderful
23 February 2015, 15:03
MICHAEL WOODHOUSE
MICHAEL WOODHOUSE Thanks for above and welcome Aron back to the fold! You have some real crackers in your stash to bring to life and I have seen some very good results with hand brushing - thin coats maybe upto 3 or 4 and keep everything clean - thats one thing that has 'spoilt' the hobby - airbrushing but unfortunatly you cant beat it but does mean lots of masking etc etc....
