Finished the `what if` `blitz`. Story below to go with the pics.....

`After the successful introduction of British types into the Luftwaffe starting in 1960, the resident Nazi goverment started to look for a replacement for the F-104 Starfighter after a number of accidents and experienced aircrew killed. They still needed an interceptor with similar qualities to the F-104, so turned to English Electric and their latest mark of Lightning, the F-6.

In 1967 the first F-6 `Blitz`started operations with the newly formed JG 26 who adopted an unofficial `Black Stallions` unit nickname.

Below is `Black 25` from that unit....

Nice Wifs,

My only observation is the Frightning has the main legs on the wrong sides.

The wheel faces should be outboard - not inboard as you have assembled them.

Gonna blame that on lack of sleep. Thanks for pointing that out Adrian.
