English Electric Lightning is a British supersonic interceptor fighter that entered service with the Royal Air Force in 1960 and served until the mid-1980s. It became renowned for its exceptional agility and unique engine arrangement, with one engine mounted above the other. The Lightning was designed to intercept Soviet bombers during the Cold War and was used mainly by the United Kingdom, with additional service in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Thanks to its impressive performance—exceeding Mach 2—the Lightning formed the backbone of the RAF's quick response forces for over two decades. These aircraft participated in numerous patrol and training missions across Western Europe.

The Kagero 7132 monograph is an invaluable resource for modelers building replicas of the Lightning in all popular scales: 1/72, 1/48, or 1/32. Detailed technical drawings, vivid color profiles, and precise descriptions will facilitate both accurate painting and correct placement of elements in accordance with the chosen operational period.

We recommend this publication to modelers of all skill levels, especially those at intermediate and advanced levels with a passion for British aviation.
