Classic British Lightning (Mobile)

50.4k Stingray  8.8 years ago

(Mobile friendly) The post-WW2 British Lightning was the first supersonic interceptor produced by the UK. Tha spike in front is a target ranging pulse-radar, and it was initially equipped with air-air machine cannons. Which did not work too well, so later, missiles were added. This is a classic block-structure replica supersonic model. Works on all SP versions.

    OK will do -- this uses sticks + stones as building blocks, and I remain amazed SP still allows these older models to fly. (Checkout my Long Range Lightning, which is a little surprise in terms of flyability and speed). @VernalTie513
