Lightning XM192

Postby Hihonyr8811 » Wed May 12, 2010 8:53 pm

Managed to snap a couple of pics of 192 today at Thorpe camp (near Coningsby).

They are definitely tarting her up, she now has black on her fin, when I passed on Monday it was all green, it looks pretty good to me :D

Presumably the remaining primer will be given a coat of silver soon!

If you compare it to Helens pic here
