tc2324 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) Keeping in line with my last `what if` Luftwaffe project, just thought I`d post an update on JG26`s latest mount...... Gone for a two tone grey and traditional JG26 yellow....... Edited December 22, 2009 by tc2324 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc2324 Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 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.... And just to finish off, heres a pic of both my `What if` creations. Hope you liked and merry christmas......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atdb27 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 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. Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tc2324 Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 After fixing my `newbie` mistake, I worked a little magic, made the model appear a little more atmospheric and thought I`d post the results. Hope you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybadger Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 That looks... scarily authentic. You could start a whole conspiracy theory with just those pictures. Go on, you know you want to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
