The first production Lightning, the F.1, flew in October 1959, and deliveries began in the summer of 1960. It had a powerful radar and heat-seeking Firestreak missiles. A follow-on variant, the F.1A, had air-refueling capability and a UHF radio. The F.2 variant appeared in 1961, and had better range, speed and ceiling, a liquid-oxygen breathing system for the pilot, a steerable nosewheel, fully-variable afterburners, and improved electronics. The F.3, featuring two 16,360-pound thrust Avon engines, a larger square-tip fin, Red-Top missiles, and the capability of carrying two large over-wing fuel pods, entered service in 1964. The F.3A, later re-designated the F.6, was the result of a BAC recommendation to nearly double the Lightning's fuel capacity and to fit it with a redesigned wing. This modification allowed the airplane to carry more, be more efficient, and go faster. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1:72\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 233 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWingspan: 148 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Parts: 80+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Sprues: 8 sprues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Trumpeter Scale Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51224947392725,"sku":"TRP1654","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/trumpeter-scale-models-1654-1-72-english-electric-bac-lightning-f-2a-f-6-model-aircraft-kit.jpg?v=1742219794","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/trumpeter-scale-models-1654-1-72-english-electric-bac-lightning-f-2a-f-6-model-aircraft-kit","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
