RW Airfix Lightning F.6

[AeroplaneDriver]

Another Real World build completed.  Airfix 1/48 Lightning F.6.  Went with the 80s 5 Sqn scheme of Dark Sea Grey over Barley Grey and Sqn markings courtesy of Xtradecal.

I've had this in my stash for an eternity and glad I finally got around to it.  I can see how many considered it Airfix's best effort until some of the near-Tamiya kits they are producing today. 

Two more in the stash and I think one will see some mods inspired by Tony Wilson's "Lightning Genesis & Projects" book.  Maybe a USAF ground attack version in Vietnam...hmmm...

I thought I commented on this last night?

Oh, well, I was tired.

Very, very nice! Almost looks like a naval scheme.

[NARSES2]

Does look good in that scheme

I'm a fan of the dark greys scheme, nice job.
