1/48 Eduard BAC Lightning Mk.2A

Gallery Article by Thanos Mentzelopoulos on June 22 2011

 

This is my latest OOB aircraft build...just two scratchbuilt engines and almost a dozen of panels open...not bad I suppose!!!  Well, the kit should have been OOB, but I couldn't resist...Hey, doctor, is there any cure?????????

Overall fit was quite good, I only used a small amount of filler. The Eduard resin and p.e. parts are really excellent and enhance the final appearance of the old Airfix kit.
The kit was painted with Model Master metalizers, Tamiya and Gunze acrylics and Alclad II paints.

The decals come from the kit. 
You can find more in-progress photos as well as photos of the finished model in the gallery of our site, www.helmo.gr  I hope you like it!!!
My thanks to EDUARD for the sample kit!!!
