  Republic Day in Turkey 2006 

 

This very old and awesome kit from our old pal AIRFiX.  When I saw the real Bac Lightning aircraft in Royal Airforce Museum in Hendon, London I decided to build one. As a kit it's very detailed and every part fits perfectly.

In addition, I added some photo-etch parts, especially gone perfect for nozzles. Also I used True details cockpit resin set for interior details. I painted the model with mr-color super metallic paints for metallic appearence.

I have finished with decals from the box depicting 53th fleet 1963 Wattisham.
