binbrook87 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Last of my Lightning trio. This time a T5 from no. 145 sqn / 226 o.c.u. at RAF Middleton St George (now Teeside Airport) in the mid 1960s. In my opinion the most colourful of Lightning schemes. On the later T5s the training bands were changed from yellow to dayglo orange on some airframes making them even more colourful! Brush painted with Vallejo Model air polished aluminium and model colour for the red and yellow. Xtradecals to finish the job. Thanks for looking! 24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 You do beautiful work with the Sword Lightning kits and this one is especially nice, given how colorful it is. Thanks for the information regarding what they're like to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binbrook87 Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Thank you for the kind comments. They are not as easy as say an Airfix or Hasegawa but if you are used to Special Hobby etc then they will pose no problems at all. Also if you can pick them up they are quite reasonably priced.... even cheaper than the new Airfix F. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
