Heeeeelp, Red top missile for EE lightning

[corsaircorp]

Hello Dears,

The Airfix instructions from the EE Lightning give me red top missile painted Aluminium with white fins.

That seem weird to me, all white Ok but aluminium and white ??

Any idea ??

I look forward to hear from you and I thank you beforehand.

Sincerely.

Yes , sounds OK to me , have seen Red Tops in white , aluminium with white fins , light grey with dark grey or green fins , probably other combinations out there as well.

Redtops were (80-85) very light grey/sliver body with green rear fins and the area (tail cone) around the rear (steering) fins.  Drill missiles had a black solid section instead if the Seeker head this style of missile was fitted to the port side, Acquisition missile was the same colouring but with a functioning seeker head. Both these types of missiles flew (attached to the jet) without wings the big forward ones.

 

Live missiles were the same colours just had green wings like the link attached Redtop
