I'm in.

That's a nice big scale for such an awesome piece of machinery. 1 seat, 2 wings, and 2 missiles strapped to a pair of huge engines.

So this is where the Lightning Lovers Club meets?
No doubt about it, speed was the only thing in mind here.
I would have loved to seen and heard I'm sure, one of
these. Geez.
Very cool idea for a display, Bill. Looks great.

Daniel Klink
Very nice result and perfect illusion of in Flight action 👍

They were still in service for the first couple of years of my time in the RAF. remember seeing them at airshows. They had quite the reputation and were quirky designs to say the least. To start them, they used a highly explosive liquid starting fuel. It was also said that there was a height restriction for lightning pilots due to the cockpit screen frame presenting a danger of amputating legs at the knees for pilots over 6 foot tall ejecting.

Q: How long is this 1:32 model kit? 🙂

Chaz Gordon
About 6 Weeks as far as I can tell.

chaz - it felt like a lifetime .... awful kit not designed for inflight but it looks like a lightning so i'm happy

David Taylor
From what I've read in an experienced hand it could give F16s a fright.
