Hi everyone,
here's one that tested my patience... Eduard's boxing of the Academy Lightning was somewhat of a mixed bag of emotions. On one hand, the resin and photoetch parts are as beautiful as they come - on the other hand, the fit of the original plastic parts is really bad in places. I spent quite some time aligning the booms, filling huge gaps and steps between fuselage and wings, and rescribing lost detail.
The model was painted with Lifecolor Acrylics, weathered with oils and pastels.
Thanks for looking!
Cheers,
Boris
