Lightning F.2A XN793 Help needed


Blacktjet

Recommended Posts

XN793 in green, with "flagship 92", appears to be missing the yellow "stitching" from the rear fuselage, normally seen on green F.2As. Does anyone know if it was not applied or were they applied in black? I can see the usual black portion on the underside.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

This is location for the rear trestle so I think it should be there. 5 years on F3's T5's & F6's and never seen one without the markings applied

Not those markings, the broken yellow/black lines that I presume mark the point where the rear fuselage can be broken to remove the engines

The front ventral tank come off the no1 engine drops out. there's a top hatch (starts in front of the fin ) this is removed and  the No2 engine is lifted out. if your referring to the yellow broken lines that run up rear fuselage that the trestle position when removing the radar bullet and the no one engine other wise she sit on her bottom.
