1/72 3d Printed English Electric "Super" Lightning P.8 Concept

Yes, either F.6 or F.2A. The F.6 just has an extra sprue with the overwing tanks and the different belly.

The good thing is it leaves you with a perfect excuse to build a swing-wing F.7 proposal from the left over bits........

Like this?



Saying that I have also a couple of modern Airfix Lightnings that I have started converting to two-seaters so I have plenty of bits in the spares box.

Exactly like that. Looks good

I will make sure to bring it to Telford this year so it can sit next to your P.8

That's a nice looking machine. Kind of ugly as well lol. Sure looks fast tho ! Great job on the finish. And thanks for the comparison pic to give us something to see the differences.

Excellent build, and really nice work to create a P8 conversion set as its subtle shapes have often thwarted those who have considered it in the past,

You certainly have these nmf  schemes down to a tee

Very Cool.

Thanks all for the kind comments.

In other news, my new printer arrived today! Test print in progress! So hopefully I'll be able to address a couple of niggles with the design, then run a test print and think about making it available for those who want a bit of self flagellation some fun! Only kidding, it wasn't too painful to put together. Surprisingly few parts actually. Its the fettling of a few of the Airfix donor bits that can be tedious.

Great topics and the P8 build really looks good.

That's very nice work on that P.8. I like it more than the normal one.

Thats good news on the new printer even though your AW169 kit was an excellent print
