Lancaster/Lightning Mistel

[Nick]

I grabbed this ages ago off an Eagle/Dan Dare website from when the comic was restarted in the early 80s.

Thing is, it's not quite a Lightning is it? There's a hint of F-86 nose, a short stubby tail and three jet exhausts from the rear.
Maybe one day they'll release all the modern comics in books as collectors items....

Cool!

The "Lightning" looks like the P1A, with no shock cone and a lower profile canopy.

And it looks more like a Lincoln than a Lanc...but that's way cool regardless !

What the last 2 said.  The cut-down fin reminds me of that old Lightning at one of the RAFG bases that was modified to look like a Mig-21

hehehe, looks like the artist was inspired after a visit to Cosford and looking at the Lincon and P.1 !!? 
somat different for sure, are there any more illustrations of it within the magazine? now thatd make for one interesting model...


cheers, joe
