The first production Lightning, the F.1, flew in October 1959, and deliveries began in the summer of 1960. It had a powerful radar and heat-seeking Firestreak missiles. A follow-on variant, the F.1A, had air-refueling capability and a UHF radio. The F.2 variant appeared in 1961, and had better range, speed and ceiling, a liquid-oxygen breathing system for the pilot, a steerable nosewheel, fully-variable afterburners, and improved electronics. The F.3, featuring two 16,360-pound thrust Avon engines, a larger square-tip fin, Red-Top missiles, and the capability of carrying two large over-wing fuel pods, entered service in 1964. The F.3A, later re-designated the F.6, was the result of a BAC recommendation to nearly double the Lightning's fuel capacity and to fit it with a redesigned wing. This modification allowed the airplane to carry more, be more efficient, and go faster.:\u003cbr\u003eItem No : 01635\u003cbr\u003eItem Name : English Electric (BAC) Lightning F.MK3\u003cbr\u003eBar Code : 9580208016351\u003cbr\u003eScale : 1:72\u003cbr\u003eItem Type : Static Kit\u003cbr\u003eModel Brief : Length: 233.13mm Width: 148.06mm\u003cbr\u003eTotal Parts : 72pcs\u003cbr\u003eMetal Parts : n\/a\u003cbr\u003ePhoto Etched Parts : n\/a\u003cbr\u003eFilm Parts : n\/a\u003cbr\u003eResin Parts : n\/a\u003cbr\u003eTotal Sprues : 5 sprues\u003cbr\u003ePaint Schemes : Lightning F.3XR 749, 56 Squadron , RAF, 1986\u003cbr\u003eReleased Date : 2009-04\u003cbr\u003eMore Features : There are 68 parts in light grey plastic, 4 clear parts for canopy and missile\u003cbr\u003e-Two x Red Top missile w\/ clear parts\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"white-space:nowrap;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\"\u003cp\u003e Customize your kit and take your creation to another level with our selection of \u003cb\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.harveynorman.lol\/tools-paints\/paint-sets\/\"\u003epaint sets\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trumpeter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41249218953372,"sku":"TR01635","price":49.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9095\/3628\/products\/TR01635.jpg?v=1735777201","url":"https:\/\/www.harveynorman.lol\/products\/trumpeter-01635-1-72-english-electric-bac-lightning-f-mk3","provider":"Hobbyco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
