LightningBoy Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Hello SkyHunter66, I'm most of the way through a similar build as detailed in a WIP 53-67. My version will have the blue underside. You have chosen to apply the RSAF 'Roundels to both wings whereas the silver RSAF Lightnings had a RSAF roundel on the port wing and RSAF on the other wing. Genuine question, do you have any evidence of both wings having roundels or chose to put roundels on both wings? Would appreciate your thoughts. Cheers.

LightningBoy Hi - thanks for the message but to be honest I can't remember as it was 4 or 5 years ago I built it! Good luck with your build and look forward to the finished article cheers chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
