The aircraft was renowned for its outstanding performance, particularly its exceptional rate of climb and maximum speed above Mach 2. The Lightnings were operated throughout Western Europe as NATO's first line of air defense. Versions F3, F5, F6, F53, and the two-seater T55 served with both the RAF and the air forces of Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and Kuwait. Selected examples participated in many NATO exercises and operational deployments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eTechnical Set Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe resin exhaust nozzle from ResKit allows the modeller to replicate the Lightning's exhaust area details almost 1:1 to the real aircraft. The finest grooves, characteristic seals, and metal structure are superbly reproduced, offering a noticeably superior effect compared to standard plastic kit parts. The set does not include metal barrels or photo-etched parts – the focus is on maximising the texture possible with resin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis set is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who wish to bring their Airfix BAC Lightning model to the highest level of realism.
