Well it's been a while since I've posted anything anywhere model related. So to get back 'into the groove' I present to you.....

Love it! The black underside is ferocious.
So exactly what is it commemorating? I thinking something WW2 Bomber Command?

617 Squadron = Dambusters

Well if I've got my maths correct - 2028 (when the model is based) will be the 85th anniversary of 'Operation Chastise' The Dambusters Raid. I think a Tornado was done up in a fairly spectacular scheme for 2023, but here's hoping that the RAF have enough F-35s in service in three years time that they can do one in a special scheme

Good idea and a splendid model!
2028 should give enough time to develop stealth paint in the appropriate shades.

Yeah, but would anyone be able to see it  then?
