Legend has it that ejecting from a Lightning was always quite an experience:
Here are a few: 118 Squadron - Personnel 002 George Aird High speed ejection from a Lightning F6 XS921 Tim |

The build begins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I decided to build all the frames at once since I have the laser cut frames. This is relatively easy if you don't have to hand cut the frames.
It is important to study all the sketches provided. Some are very busy and somewhat confusing. So dry fit first and then glue. I made a slight mistake by having one of the frames double the thickness. So I cut the mating part by a small amount. Nothing major. Fuselage frames: Start with the center section upper half. Then add the belly frames. Now the rear frames and the forward frames. Dry fit all the frames to each other ( one of the back frames in inverted in the picture, but I did not glue it yet, so it is no problem ). It is a big boy of a plane. So far all the frames are about 16 inches long. More framing to follow. Isaac

The laser cut parts certainly make the frame easier model to build

More frames
Next are the tail frames.
Vertical fin I have decided to build the version without the separate rudder. The laser frame set gives you both options. Same for the wings. Horizontal fins More to come Isaac

Nice work. Was the only other plane with this layout the Vickers-Armstrong Type 559?
