The English Electric Lightning is a legendary British supersonic interceptor used mainly by the Royal Air Force during the Cold War. It served actively from the late 1950s up to the 1980s, becoming the hallmark of British combat aviation. The Lightning participated in numerous NATO exercises and formed the backbone of the UK's air defense during times of tension between the Eastern and Western blocs.

The "late type" wheels in this set faithfully replicate the later variant of the undercarriage used on the Lightning. Thanks to the pronounced tread and authentic rim details, your model will gain historical realism and significantly increase its collectible value.
