Allan, pretty little airplane! Is that Australian standards PRU Blue undersides?
How many did the RAAF end up with? Hard to imagine that the nacelle is partly wood. Wooden jet fighter! Good old DH! They made them pretty. And they worked.
Got to watch them woodpeckers, though.

Thanks Bernard, RAF high altitude jet fighter scheme as delivered with RAAF markings, 7 British built, 4 T22s for RAN and 190 built by DHA at Bankstown Sydney, 6 for RAN.

Great looking build! I’m also curious about the underside – what exactly is that color?
Allan J Withers said on December 27, 2016
Thanks Greg, MM 2061 – RAF P.R.U. blue with Tamiya XF16 on top.
