Though
you might not know it from the blog entries, my workbench isn’t all desolation
and blowing tumbleweeds.
I do
have a number of projects stalled in the painting stage, but that is one of the
first casualties of any mojo drought. So I decided to concentrate on some
miscellaneous construction.
Not long
before vacation, I had put together the cockpit of an Airfix Lightning F2A.
This is a wonderful kit, and I wish I had had some when I was on a true
Lightning kick back in the late 90s. Those are mostly early Airfix F1s and F3s (since
they have the better markings options) and suffer badly in comparison with these
new kits. There are at least a few gaudy paint schemes on the F2As and F6s, and
I will take full advantage of them.
There is
not much to say about the building except you need to pay an average amount of
attention. The wings needed a touch of filler (not much) and you might have to
do a bit of fiddling to the cockpit assembly to make sure it doesn’t cause the
fuselage to splay open. Some minor seam work and it should be ready for the
first round of paint.
