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?
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

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