Tim's Lightning T66 - COMPLETED


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Declaring completion.

Diluted white acrylic paint over the green camo for the Arctic side.

Undercarriage, jetpipes, weapons, pitot - all came together last night.
