dark light

RAFG Lightnings and golden legs.

Afternoon all,

A small queery about 92SQD F.2A’s at Gutersloh, I have a picture of two sat on the flight line and the undercarriage legs and doors are painted a very fetching colour of gold.

For the life of me I can’t recall why they did this, anyone know why?.

Also was this done to certain aircraft for a particular reason?.

Thankyou in advance,

John.

The Airfix kit states that U/C legs and doors should be painted gold, I assumed then that it was the finish left from fluid leaks etc. Would be interesting to know if they were painted that way.
