It also has yellow fin flashes!  Hannants have stopped shipping the kits as they await corrected decals from Trumpeter.

Cybermodeler has posted Trumpeters releases in June for the US. The description of the 1/72nd Lightning F.3 says it has underwing drop tanks. Thought the Lightning only has tanks on top of the wing? Probably just a dodgy press release. http://www.cybermodeler.com/news/news090216a.shtml

G'day Gang,

Further to the Cybermodeller link: http://www.cybermodeler.com/news/news090216a.shtml there's also a 32nd Scale "Stringbag" and another 72nd scale LCAC this time for the US.

Wasn't it just the F.6's that carried the external tanks as well?

Lee will be along to correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the F.3a could as well (early F.6 conversions)

There's a review of the PLA Navy 052C DDG 170 Lanzhou on Modellversium, looks like she's got possibilities.  ;D
