Here is my FSW
Lightning. This is a result of the VG Lightning using a set of wings from
a T-55 kit. This model is an Airfix F1A kit with a Matchbox belly
from a T-55 (Yes I grafted the rest together as an RAF T5).
Absolutely dreadfull cannons were filled and smoothed over.

Wings are from
laminates of plasticard in a shape reminiscent of the F-16FSW project, carefully
sited to disguise the grafting of the new belly. Some control furfaces are
scribed in. I considered canards but rejected the idea.
Undercarriage was tooo hard - so I put it on a stand.
Painted white as
British prototype aircraft seemed to be in the 1960s.
Looking at this
afterwards, I thought this was the type of plane Batman would fly - so the pilot
is painted black.
