Developed to intercept increasingly capable Soviet bombers such as the Tupolev Tu-16, Tu-22 and Tu-95, the English Electric/BAC Lightning had a phenomenal rate of climb, a high ceiling, and a top speed of over 1,300mph at 36,000ft, and is a favourite of both aviation enthusiasts and aircraft modellers alike.

We’ve taken the incredible Polygonica technology, developed and proven over two decades, and embedded it in a super-easy-to-use product that automatically fixes 3D models. Your existing software will fix a few problems. But in our tests, LimitState:FIX fixes vastly more - saving you time, and letting you get back to designing and printing.
