As the owner of both a Lightning and Flash so far I feel I am the only one swimming against the tide here. I hope Carf leave the Flash shape as it is as I cannot abide the current trend towards those dxxn pointy upswept tips that so many sport jets have now. I am not against genuine improvements such as sweeping the wings back on the Lightning to achieve the correct CG without noseweight but I suppose I must accept that beauty is in the eye of the beholder (as they say). I am glad I have the old shaped editions in this case especially as I seem very prone to always buying things , not just modelling goods, only to open the next months magazine to be greeted with pictures of the "new and improved" version of that which I have only just purchased the month before. Only down side to me in this case I suppose will be comments such as " oh I see yours is the old version". :-). Paul.
