Kuwait T.55 BAC Lightning.

Hi all,

This is my best effort at a T.55 dressed up for the Kuwait air force, new things I have learnt for this one was the vac form canopy and scratch built sneb rocket pods, ok not totaly scratch as the pods are from a Hunter kit but the mounting is my own.

It is a 1/72 Matchbox kit but the wings were useless and totaly wrong so I robbed some from a spare Revel kit and although they are not perfect, they do the job, decals are from the kit with some Hasegawa ones chucked in for good measure.

As ever I welcome all comments and advice.

Looks pretty good to me, Im starting to get the impression that you have a slight affection for Lightnings??? You build them as often as I build Cranberrys LoL 😀
