Hi,

I just wondered if any body could help me with a bit of info On 1/32 and 1/48 scale English electric Lightnings. I am looking at purchasing a set of resin exhausts for these for another project and I wondered if anybody could tell me the diameter of the exhausts?

If you can find another aircraft with RR Avons with reheat, like say, British Phantoms. Probably an accurate enough measure for the lightning as well.


Edit: phantom didn't run Avons, try Draaken for dimensions?

Here are 1/48 exhausts and look about midway down this page for 1/32. There are also some nice wheels right above them.
