Hi,
This may not be of interest, but I went to the RAF museum at Cosford last week, never been before, it is excellent. I treated myself to this kit of the English Electric Lightning (bought virtually next to a real one!).
I have always thought it must've been partly the inspiration for Thunderbird 1. It had incredible speed and an almost vertical climb! Anyway, I'm pleased with how my model turned out.
Take care,
Kevin
I see what you mean about it possibly lending itself to the inspiration for TB1. The Lighting, along with the Phantom, were two of my favourite jets as a kid :)
