The PL.1 proposal in Battle Flight also shows a Genie recessed in the belly pack.

Just in time to go nicely with this, Eduard have released a set of top-notch Bullpups:

The Venerable Mike McEvoy has built a prototype one of these GA Lightnings from the Freightdog set, see his comments on the GOM page here, toward the bottom of the page :-

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Mikes been itching to do a shark mouth lightning for ages.

The Atlas has also been on the cards since he found out Revell were down scaling their kit to 1/144th

Here's another thought re these: if you've got the Freightdog EE P.12 kit and an Airfix Canberra B(I).8 to apply it to, then you're going to have two very nice AS.30s going spare, and they would go a treat on this Lightning FGA conversion.
