This Airfix 1/48 kit recreates the English Electric Lightning F.6, the ultimate operational version of Britain's distinctive supersonic interceptor. It contains 153 plastic parts and decals for three RAF marking options. Glue and paints are not included.
The Lightning entered RAF service during the 1960s as a Mach 2 interceptor. Its two turbojets were mounted vertically one above the other in the fuselage. The F.6 offered improved range, distinctive ventral tanks and enhanced operational capability.
