TheyJammedKenny! Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Wow! Holy smokes--that's really an attention grabber. I'm still rubbing my eyes over it, because it looks like you shrank the real thing to 1/72 scale! RSAF to Yemenis after unleashing a torrent of SNEBs: "How do you like us now?" Yemenis: "our attitude remains the same as before..!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Wow, looks stunning! The Lightning probably was not the best ground attacker with 2 rocket pods though.... But I guess a Mirage III with the rocket/tank combo was not much more efficient either.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chose this configuration because it's unique looking Lightning ( and not cause it's great performance as close support shturmovik 😜) P.S. Mirage IIICJ performed well as bombers, but with regular bomb load, not the fuel tank mounted. What looks great in exhibitions not always performs great). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely like this out of the Norm load out! Fantastic! Also that the Lightning actually was used in combat in its least likely role is more than just interesting! It shows that every fighter should have at least a secondarmy ground attack role designed in... just look at the RAF Typhoon, that suddenly are the bomb trucks.... The Mirages advantage could be its centerline pylon that could either load extra fuel or a quite heavy bomb load.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasionally, I build one about one year ago. Unfortunately it is non riveted On Mirage III/5 the fuel tanks with bombs were used (mostly in exhibitions) on inboard wing pilons. The centerline pilon had not enough ground clearance IMHO 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonkin Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Lovely paint job. Absolutely stunning work. I've spent a fair bit of time working in KSA and used to go past this on my way to work each day... always thought it was a fitting static display.
