About product

The real subject

The Lightning is a British supersonic interceptor and its silhouette cannot be mistaken for anything else: it carries its pair of jet engines stacked one above the other in the fuselage, its wing is strongly swept with a cranked leading edge and a prominent belly tank hangs under the fuselage. The machine came from English Electric and the later stages of its production fell to successor companies, which is why two makers are named in the designation. The F.6 version is the final production form of the interceptor variant, and the designation F.3A belongs to the interim form between the F.3 and the F.6.

What the sheet offers

A stand-alone decal sheet in 1:48 scale, listed for both of the forms named. Which particular machines are covered, what national insignia, numbers and lettering they carry and exactly where each element belongs are given by the manufacturer in the instructions to the sheet. Printed markings keep crisp edges even on the small lettering and maintenance marks, where a brush would inevitably bleed in this scale.

How to apply the decals

  • clear-coat the surface under the decal with gloss varnish, because a light haze will stay around the element on a matte surface
  • cut the element out close to the edge and dip it briefly in lukewarm water
  • let it rest until it can be moved, and lay it with its paper on the place intended
  • slide the paper out from under the element, adjust the position with a soft brush and blot the water off
  • on a broken surface, decal softener helps, and once it is dry, clear-coat the area again

Terms of supply

A decal sheet is supplied. The model, the paints, the varnishes and the softener are not included in the delivery, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

An accessory. It is a stand-alone decal sheet for marking a model that has already been built. Do not look for a model or paints in the package, unless stated otherwise.

As waterslide decals. The element is cut out, dipped briefly in lukewarm water and, once it has rested, slid off the paper onto the model, the position is adjusted with a brush and the excess water is blotted off.

On a matte surface air stays trapped under the film and a light haze then remains around the element. On a gloss surface the decal clings over its whole area and the edge of the film disappears.

The list of the particular machines and the placing of the individual elements are given in the instructions enclosed by the manufacturer. Look at the packaging, where the choice of markings is usually illustrated.
