Great to have your EE Lightning F.6 available soon, as it is one of my favorite planes. But I just wondered, while studying the screenshots and comparing them to photographs of the real bird, whether the modelling of the Red Tops and their pylons on the forward fuselage is completely finished yet? On the screenshots, the chord and perhaps the span of the missiles' main fins seem a little bit undersized to me. And the position of the missile pylons relative to the Red Tops main fins: this seems to be rather too 'forward' on your model. Maybe it's an optical distortion, but if not, just consider this to be encouraging feedback from a potential customer...

For comparison, see:

Great Aircraft the J/F English Electric Lightning F.6 I've just put it on my FLIGHT SIMULATER X and my first flight was at RAF Valley. I was at Valley at the time of the investiture of Prince Charles when they used 22 Lightings for the fly past. one of the best sites I have witnessed. they did the practice every day for a week. and they took up a lot of air space when they flew.   
It's easy to make a small fortune in aviation. You start with a large fortune.
