Description

Plastic model aircraft kit: English Electric Lightning F.6 1:48 Airfix 09178A

The English Electric Lightning is one of the most iconic British jet aircraft of the post-war period. Designed as a supersonic interceptor, it was tasked with protecting V-bomber bases from the threat of Soviet strategic bombers. The F.6 version represented the pinnacle of this machine's development, offering increased speed, greater range, and improved maneuverability compared to its predecessors.

The 1:48 scale model faithfully captures the silhouette of this supersonic fighter. The F.6 version is characterized by the restored gun armament, which was a response to the needs of RAF pilots who believed the aircraft had potential beyond mere target interception and could effectively fight in dogfights. The aircraft's design, with its characteristic stacked engine layout, makes it unique in aviation history.

Scale: 1:48
Number of parts: 153
