Here is a shot of the parts.

Not the nicest of kits to build.

Made a start though and the plastic is very brittle. A very nice shade of brown. The fuselage halves are made up of two pieces. They have finally gone together but it will need some filler.

I know, but you've got to post some more pics of the RCAF Lightning in another thread.

Is this Sea Cobra kit the ex-Kitech/Zhengdefu "abomination"?

And I thought this was an Italeri re-box, the parts look very familiar.

Robert

Edit: Nope, it's not an Italeri kit just checked the one I have and I can see the differences.

Couple more shots

Some filler to cover the joins.

Blades will need a little work due to the gaps on the join, from the main assembly.

First coat on last weekend.

Second went on mid week, with the rotor blades being added too. Hopefully I will get some more work done today.

Decals are on, just need to put the matcote on and then i'm finished.

All finished. This kit was a pain in the bum to do. Brittle parts and then the decals started to break. Anyway here it is sat on the USS Dining Room Table Top.

Really enjoyed this GB, it has had a great selection of different aircraft types. I'm looking forward now to the Harrier GB.

Thanks for the feedback.
