theplasticsurgeon Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 Decals. Lightning T66 deployments were by both squadrons, hence one either side. First the No 11 Sqdn, with its Desert Eagle. Then No 5 Maple Leaf, still in European camo. In keeping with the What-if them, this model carries aircraft serial XS106, one never used by the RAF, and easily accomplished from my leftovers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 As with my other 1/72 Lightnings, I'm covering the nosering with kitchen foil. I use this adhesive, from Little Cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Very nice work on the Lightning. Thats a different approach to the desert scheme I'm unfamiliar with. I’ve seen DE/MS from WW2, DE/Light slate grey from 1948-1950, and overall sand from Op. Granby. However this the first time I've seen Dark green/Sand. That isn't a bad combo, and I could see it being useful in certain places that aren't fully desert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 Nosering. Oh, and I added a sharkmouth decal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 Declaring completion. Diluted white acrylic paint over the green camo for the Arctic side. Undercarriage, jetpipes, weapons, pitot - all came together last night. And the Desert side. New spy satelite photo - showing nav lights. And underneath, showing missiles, guns, RF probe, hook, undercarriage and that shark decal. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
