Echelon model in 1/32 scale
This is a vac form model that is excellent. The kit was developed by Frank Brown from the UK.
The kit includes fine plastic sheet
parts and metal parts. Various versions of the Lightning supersonic interceptor
of the RAF can be made.
The vacuform kit is a real achievement
in what can be done through vacuforming and details parts from brass/metal.
The kit is beautifully engineered and today, at 2005, is very rare as it
is out of production for quite some years now.
UPDATED NOTE: 2009 Trumpeter of China issued an injection moulded 1/32 kit of the Lightning. It needs some shape corrections however.

The Echelon
model will be built to represent a F2A of RAF 92 Squadron
King Cobras at Gutersloh, 1971. See also WIKI
