The BAC Lightning was a Cold War stalwart and needs no introduction. The unique thing about it was its unusual engine layout, which has not been replicated as far as I know.
Trumpeter's 1:72 offering of this classic is a great kit as far as fit-and-finish is concerned.
Detailing is also nice, though I have no idea as to its accuracy.

I couldn't find photos of the kit supplied paint scheme for this serial number anywhere, so I've done it in the scheme that I did manage to find photos of online. Though I was tempted to go for the camo scheme, I finally bit the bullet and went ahead with NMF, something which I was trying for the first time.
