English Electric Lightning

Hello everyone, no more reuploads, heres a semi rare plane on this site. Ive spent 1 at least 6 hours refining this beast, so I hope you like it. I feel like this is one of my best planes, alongside my G5N1. Anyways, the speed it respectable, and the armament is slightly improvised, but there are resemblances to the real thing. Enjoy this beast, and hope you like this color scheme!

    @JaySto thanks! The problem with the wing gear, folding it up gets in the way of missiles, and causes the physics to panic and make the wings generate a lot more lift.

    I think this looks spot-on, the Lightning is quite a chunky, pot-bellied beast and this captures it well.

    I think the rear-gear could do with repositioning for more ground clearance and a bit more speed but it's otherwise great work!

    I'm afraid my weekend was filled with other activities, and I could not touch SP at all 😢 I didn't forget about you, however.

    Sorry @WalrusAircraft for not waiting to see if you finished my request. I try to keep a schedule, and I don't have much time over the week. Hope this passes your expectations!
