1:32 BAC/EE Lightning F.3 decals, machine XR720 of No. 11 Squadron, Binbrook in the years 1973 to 1976, green and gray camouflage. A standalone Xtradecal sheet.
Responsibility details are not available.
A decal sheet in 1:32 scale for the British Lightning F.3 interceptor in the form of machine XR720 of No. 11 Squadron, based at Binbrook, the period 1973 to 1976, in green and gray camouflage. It is a standalone accessory for a model from the British manufacturer Xtradecal, not a kit.
The Lightning came about as a supersonic interceptor with the emphasis on rate of climb. Characteristic are the arrangement of two turbojets one above the other in the fuselage and a swept wing of low aspect ratio. The F.3 version represented a later stage in the development of the line. In the second half of the 1970s the machines already routinely wore a camouflage finish and national insignia in a subdued form, so a model built from this sheet looks different from the older glossy machines in natural metal.
A large-scale model has markedly engraved panel lines and sometimes riveting as well, over which a decal will not settle by itself and will stay stretched over the recess like a bridge. Use a decal softener, therefore: first settle the decal into position, blot the excess water away and only then brush a thin layer of the product over it. The softened film will ripple and must not be touched until it dries, otherwise it will tear. Once dry it usually conforms exactly to the relief. With thicker decals repeat the procedure once; with thin ones a single application is enough. Always try the effect out on a decal at the edge that you will not use on the model.
The package contains the decal sheet only. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
