--------------------

 

This new decal sheet from Barracudacals provides complete stencils for the listed variants of the English Electric (BAC) Lightning. They are sharper, cleaner, thinner replacements for the stencils found on the Airfix Lightning's decal sheet. It's a quick, easy upgrade for the otherwise beautiful Airfix Lightning kit.

They are a direct replacement for the stencils found on the Airfix Lightning's decal sheet. The numbering is the same, so the kit instructions are to be used for placement. These decals are sharper, cleaner, thinner, and with much less clear film surrounding the individual markings. The whites are white and the colors are solid. Included are very detailed replacement instrument panel decals. It's a quick, easy upgrade for the otherwise beautiful Airfix Lightning kit. It can also be used on the Aeroclub Vacform Lightnings.

This is a great decal sheet and a big improvement over the kit decals.
