Echelon model in 1/32 scale made by Meindert de Vreeze
This is a vac form model that is excellent. The kit was developed by mr. Frank Brown from the UK who I was able to meet at the IPMS UK Nationals a long time ago.
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
