Sword 48009 1/48 BAC/EE Lightning T Mk.5

The English Electric Lightning is powered by two Rolls-Royce Avon turbojet engines in a unique staggered stacked installation in the fuselage. The Lightning was developed to intercept capable bomber aircraft and thus has exceptional rate of climb, ceiling, and speed; pilots have described flying it as ‘being saddled to a skyrocket’.The T5 is the two-seat side-by-side training version, based on the F.3; 22 production aircraft built. One former RAF aircraft later converted to T.55 for Saudi Arabia.
