The scheme was intended for a single static appearance at the 1989 Leuchars 'At Home' Airshow but proved popular enough that the aircraft used its remaining flying hours as Treble One's display machine through 1990.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnown to RAF pilots and enthusiasts as 'Black Mike' because of her colour and squadron letter, XV582 made her final flight on 22nd September 1990 before becoming a static exhibit at Leuchars. This Corgi diecast model recreates that scheme in 1:48 scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Corgi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCategory: Diecast Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1:48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAircraft type: Phantom FG.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir force: RAF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: Cold War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarkings: XV582 'Black Mike', RAF No.111 Squadron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat scale is this model?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is built to 1:48 scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich squadron and aircraft does this represent?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt depicts Phantom FG.1 XV582 of RAF No.111 Squadron, known as 'Black Mike' for its gloss black scheme and squadron letter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this a diecast model or a kit requiring assembly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a factory finished Corgi diecast model, not a kit for building or painting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Corgi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57378124759415,"sku":"AA27904","price":189.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/0294\/3863\/files\/phantom_0000_Layer7_64009fed-f828-4b46-833e-0429b8738861.jpg?v=1786819375","url":"https:\/\/www.hangarmodels.co.uk\/products\/corgi-english-electric-lightning-f-6-binbrook-wing-diecast-scale-model-1-48-aa28404-copy-1","provider":"Hangar Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
