Airfix A04054A – English Electric Lightning F.2A, British Jet Fighter

Airfix A04054A – English Electric Lightning F.2A in 1/72 scale is a highly detailed plastic model kit representing the iconic British supersonic interceptor aircraft. The F.2A variant was an upgraded version introduced in the late 1960s, featuring an enlarged ventral tank, modified wing leading edges, and improved endurance for air defense missions.

The kit consists of approximately 92 parts and includes detailed cockpit, air intakes, landing gear, armament, and authentic decals with multiple marking options, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced modelers.

The finished model measures approximately 23.2 cm in length with a wingspan of about 14.9 cm, providing an accurate and impressive 1/72 scale representation.

The model comes unpainted and unassembled, offering full creative freedom to recreate authentic RAF Cold War schemes. Vallejo Model Color is recommended — for example, 70.997 Silver or 70.863 Gunmetal Grey for metallic finishes, alternatively 70.888 Olive Grey and 70.870 Medium Sea Grey for camouflage, along with 70.950 Black for details.

Glue and paints not included.
