[Fertig] BAC Lightning - Fly Model (1:33)

My very first Fly Model will be a rather substantial beast - the BAC Lightning

The model has 5 A3 colour pages, 4 pages of parts to be reinforced and some pages of diagrams. The total number of parts is close to 1000! I guess that should be enough to keep me happy for a long time...

This will be an amazing model!

I like the looks of the Lightning, because everything on it is different than any other Jet (fuel tanks on top of the wings, wing form...).
I will follow your thread with high interest, as some day, I also want to build this model.

You can find some pictures of the Lightning build by Hans-Jürgen Haberer on my homepage www.kartonmodellbau.net - here is the direct Link to it

Wishing you all the best for your build! And by the way - Happy birthday!!!

Greetings,
Walter

Thanks, Walter and Günni

I agree with you Walter - the Lightning is definitely one of a kind! Your very nice pictures shows it perfectly. Thanks for the link

As it is often the case with me, I started with the more tedious work, before getting to the difficult one. The reason why there are so many parts is already becoming clear. Each wing of the Red Top missiles has 3 parts! 3x4(wings)x2(missiles) go up to 24...
Fly Model has a pattern for a rolled paper part, to put inside the missiles. I choose to split it into 3 - front, middle and rear. The pattern would require thinner paper than the usual 80g/m2.

So, you will end up with a model more than 1m long

The Red Tops are complete

On, now, to the rocket launchers...

Good morning,

Your build is looking very good and accurate.
I have started with the internal frames for my own model
and this is taking quite an amount of card already.

Together with scanning and enlarging the pieces i expect
this to take some time but a nice model when complete.

Good luck with your model and thankyoufor the good
pictures.

Best regards,
Keith.

@ Yu - Bring me domes till 'domesday' comes

@ keith - I see what you mean: by getting from 1/33 to 1/16 you will, broadly speaking, need four times the area of card with double thickness! If the original model has 4 A3 pages to reinforce, you will get to 2 square meters!!! No surprise to notice that you'll need some time (and a lot of physical work =)) to cut all that card...
Today's pictures show the rocket launchers at several construction steps. The idea of gluing the tabs to the inside formers worked well but it is a risky one. If the assembly comes out too large, it is nearly impossible to adjust. It is surely wiser to glue the tabs inside the parts and put the formers latter, trimmed if needed.

Hello and thank you for the latest pictures,they are most helpfull
and see you are making good progress.
Yes the tabs and formers would work better as you suggest.

I hope there are enough tress left for me to complete my model
in 1/16th scale!
I have actually sat in a real Lghtning F6 and it is a very special plane
i must say.

Good luck with the next step of the build and will watch with
interest.

I envy you for having sat on a real Lightning!
The rocket launchers have a lot of small parts that will link them to the pylons. In fact, they look too small to allow a proper gluing surface

Maybe superglue will do the trick, but there is a lot to do first...

@ Yu - well, the positive point is that there are not so many 'rivets' here

. The negative one is that I didn't find the exact diameter puncher

. The rivets had to be cut with my trusty knife. The tip of the knife is just visible in the picture.

The pylons for the rocket launchers are T-shaped, as each pylon holds 2 rocket launchers.

You are most welcome, John and Norman

Thanks a lot for your comments!
The Lightning was regarded as a point interceptor and the first models had a combat radius of just around 240km. It is not a surprise that this shortfall was addressed in latter versions. The external, overwing, fuel tanks are part of the answer. Increased belly tank was another, as well as a detachable refuelling probe.

Hello again,

Your work just gets better and better.
The work for me gets harder and harder!
I have just about enlarged the first page
of parts to 1/16th scale now and ready
to begin pasting down and cutting the
first parts.

I hope my work will be to your standard.
Your pictures show much care and as
always the quality.

Thankyou for the latest pictures.

Best regards,
Keith.

Looking forward to seeing your pictures, keith

BIG pictures

The bombs are more of the same. I used the usual rolled paper strip for the nose. Fly Model's solution for the bomb's nose is not my favourite. I'd prefer 3 or 4 conical sections instead of a single part with 10 slices. The amount of visible edges (black lines) would be smaller and less conspicuous. But that's how life is...

Hi Ricardo,

Fantastic work + pictures again!
How do you do the rolled paper for the tips of the tanks?
It looks a good solid job when done.

I am hoping to post some pictures soon i have taken much
time in printing up so far so once i can get moving on the
construction there will be good progress i hope.

Will wait with great interest for your next part of the
construction.

Kind reagrds,
Keith.

Hi Keith,

You can see here where I first used the rolled paper strips:
U-Boot Hecht and Molch - GPM
For me, it works pretty well

The bomb's pylons are simpler than those for the rocket launchers. They will sit above the main wing pylons. The link is achieved by bits of wire, placed in the small holes visible in the picture.

Hello Ricardo,

I have just completed the scaling up of the first page on
the fuselage formers and now fixing to the card stock.

The cutting and construction can then begin and after
setting out the completed pieces can now see the
completed length will some 102 cms!

The Lightning has more than a fair share of card formers. Those on the first picture are for the middle fuselage section and you can count more than 50 parts

Ricleite, I don't know if you've seen it, but if not you're sure to be interested to hear that your method with rolled paper strips has raised quite some interest over at Papermodelers.com.

Keith, I admire and appreciate your project of making a 1/16 build of this model. I am sure it will be magnificent, and it would be most interesting to hear and see more of that, parallell to the build here or separately.

Many regards to both of you, Leif

@Keith - I'm imagining the work I had multiplied by 4 - 2 for the length to cut and 2 for the thickness! Oh dear! Forget the gym, you will not need it

@ Leif - thanks a lot for the link :super: I was not aware of that one and it is always rewarding to see that my hobby is also interesting for somebody else. I was asked to make a tutorial elsewhere and it is available here:

http://maquetasenpapel.mforos.com/125693…rolos-em-papel/

It is all in Portuguese but the maths behind the rolled paper method are very simple and, hopefully, the pictures are helpful. I find the purpose-designed strip to get the desired shape good because it allows you to apply all the pressure needed to glue. There is not a hole in the middle, which could collapse while gluing and ruin all the work...
If that interests you, I made another spreadsheet to design paper strips to get wheel tyres. Hopefully, the first test will come this weekend, for the Lightning tyres

.
Needless to say, if someone wants a copy of the spreadsheets, just drop me a line

There is no secret behind them :rotwerd:
Rolled paper was also used by Fly Model, with a simpler shape, to model the gun muzzles, in it works pretty well here, too.

Gil Russell has made a short tutorial in English for his method, inspired by yours. The images compare very well.

Keith, I've had some experience of cutting out parts doubled on to 2mm hard card. It is indeed a lot of work, and in the end I resorted to a power table jigsaw.

However, since then I have been thinking and looking for proper substitute material for the hard 2mm card. The best I have arrived at is 2mm depron (which is the white foamy stuff they use for insulating electrically heated floors). I have not been able to locate a source for that, and in any case it is kind of expensive-ish.

Imagine my joy, therefore, when finding out that 2mm depron (or similar material) is used for protecting packages of large-sheet papers, such as available in artists shops.

You should try to locate an artists shop selling large sheets of expensive paper, like aquarel paper and similar, and kind of mention your problem. Perhaps they, like my shop keeper, will feel in a merciful mood and just give you the large sheets (which they trow away in any case).

Although I haven't tried them for a real model yet, they seem ideal. You will probably have to double them both back & front with ordinary paper (pattern on one side; suitably coloured or white, on the other) for rigidity.

The good news is that white glue works very well. The even better news is that you can make exact cuts, and the cutting is like through butter, at least compared to 2mm hard card.

For what it's worth. I'd love to see it tried out on a full build.

Hello Leif,

Thankyou very much for all the kind information on the depron
material,it would be an alternative for sure.

At present i have a large stock of mid-range card thicknesses
so will be ok on that side.
I would not use a jig saw i think i would rather cut 2 times the
formers and back to back them,but at the moment all is going
well with the card i have and i affix strengthening angles of my
own that creates a very rigid construction when done.

I will post some pictures as soon as i can on a separate thread
as i think Ricardo rightly deserves this one alone.

The construction on this thread is a superb masterpiece in the
making!

Kind regards,
Keith.

Hi Leif and Rick,
Depron is sold in home improvement stores (like Home Depot, etc) as insulation to be put under wallpaper. Comes in large roles or precut. And its quite cheap. Checking google for "indoor rc planes " also helps. Most of these are made of Depron. Other brand names are Selitron or Selitac.

I would love to hear some experience working with these kind of material.

Cheers

Hello Jan!

I know that you can buy it, and I've done so. But in Sweden, at least, I cannot buy anything but 3mm depron (or similar), in very large sheets. The price is some 8 euros for a square meter or possibly somewhat more. That may or may not be expensive, but in any case it isn't 2mm.

Which is why I thought the tip about the free 2mm stuff used for protecting paper and just thrown away at the shop was too good not to mention.

I have made a few test parts, and when laminated on both sides it works just beautifully.

Not at all, Yu

. In fact, it proved much easier than I had expected. The trick is to put tiny drops of glue at intervals, while rolling the paper strip and, in the process, ensure that it is centred. As the tyre is symmetrical, it is easy to achieve.
