1:200 English Electric (BAC) Lightning

This supersonic interceptor entered service eith RAFin 1959 till 1988.
Fantastic climber, supersonic without afterburner, capable of mach 2, this very agile fighter was also used by the air forces of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait; however, its superb performance was limited by obsolete avionics, poor operational range and armament limited to just guns and two heat seeking missiles.
The Lightning was not easy to fly, especially during crosswind landings, so much so that it earned the nickname "fryghtning" or "ensign eliminator", giving a different meaning to the two Es of English Electric.
