The Lightning F.3 was introduced into service in the mid-1960s, and its main task was to defend British airspace from potential Soviet bomber attacks during the Cold War. The characteristic twin-engine configuration and sharply swept wings provided the aircraft with extraordinary agility and speed – the Lightning could exceed Mach 2. The F.3 aircraft were operated from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s, serving in units stationed in the UK and Malta, among other locations.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications of the Trumpeter 01635 kit in 1\/72 scale\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAccurate model scale: 1\/72\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOriginal user's country: United Kingdom\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOriginal use period: Cold War (1965-1985)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: plastic model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality polystyrene plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe kit does not include paints or glue\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDetailed cockpit and landing gear elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOptional open cockpit, realistic surface panel details\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eComes with a rich set of decals – authentic RAF markings\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eClear step-by-step assembly instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eRecommendation and difficulty level\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Trumpeter 01635 BAE Lightning F.3 1\/72 is a model recommended for both intermediate and advanced aircraft modelers interested in military aviation history and the Cold War.
