Thanks. Get to see if for real at the Coventry show and I'll explain my reasoning.

I'll try and bring my 2-seater SRA.1 as well.

It's a fine line...

The Genie armed Lightning T55 in RAF markings proceeds. The first photo is the overall a/c and the second the Genies. The dayglo orange is RAL2005 Leuchtorange. It's my last Lightning for now.

After this Lightning is done the decision is what to do next.

Decisions, decisions.

I think you need to set up a poll and let the people decide, Trev 😉

Nah! That way lies madness & trying to satisfy others, when you should be focussing on your own needs & desires!

A little bit late but, "May the Fourth be with You," & guide you to an enlightened choice, Trev!

Started a 1/72 Airfix Hawk T1 and as if by magic a Freightdog 862 Hawk T2 tail ie an extended jet pipe is worked into the build. I am not sure what the finish will be but green and dark gray camo is a front runner.

Nice one ! I like the new additions.

Update on the SRA-1. Done most of the decals in one session. Just the snagging left to do.

The decalling of the SRA-1 has not gone as well as it could. One of the serial number decals is lost and more annoyingly one of the code letters broke up a bit during application. I think I have a plan to dig myself out of this hole. By comparison the RAF Lightning armed with two Genies is decalling well.
