LUKE METCALF PUT ON AN AMAZINGLY SMOOTH DISPLAY WITH HIS GORGEOUS 1/5TH SCALE ENGLISH ELECTRIC LIGHTNING AT THIS PUBLIC MODEL AIRCRAFT SHOW AT WESTON PARK WITH THE HELP OF DAD PAUL WHO LOOKED A BIT RELIEVED AFTER SHE LANDED – LOL,
she was built by trond hammerstad from norway and is the only person in the world to have built this model from the airworld modelbau kit at the moment ! and what an amazing model it is – lol,
she is an Airworld Modelbau kit 1:5 scale

The colour scheme is from an F2A, stationed in Germany (RAF Gutersloh) in late 1960s.
Its not easy to estimate the building hours, but 3-400 hours I guess. (it was a winter build 2011/2012, the maiden flight was may 2012)
