The F.2A variant, introduced in 1968, was a modified version featuring a distinctive square-cut fin, kinked wing leading edges, and an enlarged ventral fuel tank, which significantly enhanced its patrol time. This 1\/72 scale kit from Airfix is a detailed replica of this iconic British jet. The model accurately captures the unique features of the F.2A and includes two different marking options for aircraft that served with the Royal Air Force in Germany during the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kit accurately captures the F.2A variant with its square-cut fin, kinked wing leading edges, and enlarged ventral tank\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarkings are provided for two different aircraft: No 19 Squadron and No 92 Squadron, both based at RAF Gutersloh\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cockpit is detailed with a pilot figure and instrument panel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eA full complement of Red Top or Firestreak air-to-air missiles is included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe landing gear can be modelled in either the up or down position\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe model features finely recessed panel lines for a realistic finish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eA classic kit from the Airfix Aircraft series\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine Airfix Product\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale: 1\/72\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength: 232mm (9.13\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWingspan: 149mm (5.87\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeight: 82.9mm (3.26\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePieces: 92\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecal Schemes: 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkill Level: Intermediate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncluded Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Model Kit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Decal Sheet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Instruction Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRequired Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlastic Safe Paint\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eModelling Glue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Tweezers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Scissors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Knives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Files\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AIRFIX","offers":[{"title":"Hobbies Direct","offer_id":40426441572553,"sku":"10032974","price":52.48,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/9803\/5810\/files\/15bc09445f1d49a18d24a55f780771a9.webp?v=1760683778","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.com.au\/products\/airfix-1-72-english-electric-lightning-f-2a-jet-kit","provider":"JB Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
