dwomby Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Lightning T4 XM973/Z of 23 Squadron, RAF Valley August 20, 1965. This is the MatchBox T55 kit cross-kitted with the wings and belly fuel tank from the old Airfix F3 kit. The fin was cutdown to the earlier F1/F2/T4 shape, the cable ducting shortened and a nominal arrestor hook added. Other than that, it's OOB. The decals are a mix of Xtradecal and home made serials. The aluminium paint gave me no end of trouble so I didn't dare mask over it - hence the somewhat wobbly edges to the freehand painted areas like the anti-dazzle panel.
