The Badab Fleet two-seat Eagle Fighter is equipped like a Lightning with twin linked lascannon and an autocannon on an AA mount. This example is from 89 Squadron. Note the personalised nose art.

Dear Cyborg
ReplyDeleteIt's a Revell Star Wars Fighter in about 1:35 scale. However, I have kitbashed the thing fairly substantially, cutting off the rear booms and adding fins.
Glad you like it.
