Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Very interesting take on the Lightning. I Like  :thumbsup:

Having done a Delta Lightning, it really does change the way it looks

I almost cut the wings into the same shape as the originals with the idea of making it more an Egg Lightning than a Delta.
But then I decided I like it as a Delta.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Since this pic i've attached the UC doors. airbrakes, and missiles.  She's very nearly finished but completion will wait for the pilot who I am scratching up from 1/35 and 1/48 body parts.

I do hope you've got a good lawyer, Meng and various others who market "Egg Planes" are sure to be after you  ;)

Looks good mate  :thumbsup:

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
