1/32 BAC Lightning F.2A/F.6
Trumpeter 1/32 BAC Lightning F.2A/F.6 is a plastic kit of the British supersonic fighter. The kit covers the F.2A and F.6 versions. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The English Electric (later BAC) Lightning was a British fighter capable of speeds above Mach 2. It is unmistakable thanks to its two Rolls-Royce Avon engines mounted one above the other, the nose intake with a central shock cone and the sharply swept wing. The F.6 introduced the large ventral fuel tank and a wing with a kinked, cambered leading edge; the F.2A was created by upgrading earlier F.2s to a similar standard and was used for low-level interception over West Germany. Lightnings remained in RAF service until 1988.
The Trumpeter kit in 1/32 scale depicts the F.2A and F.6, which share the large ventral tank in appearance. The large scale captures the slender fuselage with its stacked engines and the characteristic wing planform well. The finished model is a striking piece in any collection of Cold War aircraft or British jet fighters.
The box art shows an RAF Lightning with dark green camouflage on the upper surfaces and natural metal undersides – a combination that calls for careful masking in this scale. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
Nationality: Great Britain. Period: Cold War.
