This is the
Grand Pheonix issue of the Airfix Lightning. I added the Aire's cockpit, undercarriage, exhaust and control surfaces.
Also included is a different set of decals from the Airfix issue.
I added a
white metal intake ring by Airwaves as it polishes up to give an excellent
shine.
The kit will
need a lot of modification and trimming to get the Aires resin to fit,
especially the undercarriage bays, but it is worth it as the detail on
these parts is fantastic!

I had the privilege
to see Lightnings flying and I have met pilots who flew them
and they all state it was the most exciting aircraft they ever flew. One
pilot told me that its true Lightning never strikes twice, as they always
get their target first pass!
