FirstLook

 

Xtradecal has produced yet another fine quality decal sheet, this time depicting the stencil data for English Electric Lightning F1, F1A, F2, F2A, F3, F.6 and Training aircraft for the Dark Green/Dark Sea Grey, natural metal, and grey schemes.

 

 

The decals are superbly printed and they have good colour saturation and are in perfect register.  As usual with Xtradecals the carrier film is ultra thin and my experience with their decals in the past has been that the decals have to be handled carefully and will snuggle down into the surface detail well.  The carrier film then almost totally disappears under a coat of clear.

 

 

This set compliments the previous Lightning releases from Xtradecal and supplies all the data decals required.

Thanks to Hannants for the review sample

Xtradecals are available online from Hannants' website
