We're going to be up to our NECKS in VG Lightnings before long!  :o

We will if I have anything to do with it lol
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

Do one with long, thin wings, just to be different..... ;)

Hi Colin,

Can you put aside a VG Lightning, High Planes AEW Avenger conversion, 1000lbs post war bombs and the updated decals for the Swift please.

See you there.

Now there's an idea.  :thumbsup:

With two or more folds, like a concertina maybe?  ;D :lol:

Well they say the design of the U2 started with the Starfighter...

Maybe it could have wings that fold up like an old-fashioned carpenter's ruler?  ;D

Hi Colin,

Can you put aside a VG Lightning and the updated decals for the Swift for me please.

Is there a rough estimate of cost ....or is that a taboo question?
Oh to be whiffing again :-(

Here is a picture of the VG masters (underside showing re-positioned wheel wells), off to the caster now!



Thanks,

Is that Mr. Lucas' handywork Colin? It looks great.  :thumbsup:

How long before one of us on here makes one with the outer wings hinged?  ;D

VG Lightning set for me please Colin, plus a Swift belly tank.

As a proud owner of a Swift F7 conversion, are the roundels/serials in that set also slightly undersized?  Mine's in the loft and I don't recall what markings (other than serials and the white stripes for the Cranfield option) feature.

And what's the diameter of the Dakota wheels, please?  A long story but they may feature in a restoration of a FROG Shackleton MR3 (not the Shack itself but a model that needs to return Shack wheels).

Throws up possibilities for other swept wing conversions anything from the F-84 up to the F-117.
Even a forward swept wing-swing!

Yes Paul did them, we opted to model in the forward position, as when swept back it just looks like, well a normal Lightning!
