Building Airfix EE Lightning - Model Aircraft

A time-lapse build of Airfix's 1/72 scale English Electric Lightning F.2A scale model kit, a supersonic RAF fighter aircraft from the Cold War era. It had an exceptional rate of climb, ceiling, and speed of Mach 2 (2,136 km/h) at 36k feet.
*The kit has optional refuelling probe and optional inlet covers.*
A very good 1:72 scale Lightning kit, however it has it's flaws and so I would only recommend this kit to more advanced modellers.
Airfix provided me with this kit for free, however they have not paid me or told me what to do or say. My opinions are honest and my own.

Hello Owen, I like your videos and especially I like that you paint your kits with a brush. You show how the kits is possible to build in an easy way and I think that it can attract new model makers to this wonderful hobby. Best Daniel

Great to see another Quick Kits video, and it was super relaxing to watch with the great music choice. :)

Made this kit myself just the other week, still awaiting paint. I had the same issue with the cockpit fit, and got around it by sanding both the fuselage halves and the cockpit pieces to fit.

You made a great job of that build, I had the same cockpit and intake fit issues when I built it. The is Airfix kit is the still best 1/72 Lightening out there.

Thank you so much for your videos. You're an inspiration for the people who's starting this hobby with just paint and some brushes. When you see other pros using the airbrush so much you start to believe you can't achieve good results with just brushes. You prove them wrong.

I used Deluxe materials perfect putty today and it's fantastic stuff sands flat with little effort, thanks for recommending this Owen
