For their first set of stencil decals, BarracudaCals has chosen to concentrate their efforts on the very nice Airfix 1/48 Lightning. This sheet is keyed to the instruction sheet for the F.1/F.1A/F.2/F.3 kit. Each of the markings has the identical decal number as you'll find in those instructions. Not to say you, can't use these on the later F.6 kit, but you'll need the instructions from the earlier version to use it. You'll note that this sheet also includes instrument panel and console decals if you wish to use those. Also applicable to the Aeroclub vacuform kit if you should so desire.

The decals are superbly printed and should react quite well to various setting solutions. So toss out those thick and fuzzy kit stencils and grab a set of these for your next project.

My thanks to BarracudaCals for the review set. E-mail them at barracudacals@gmail.com for more information and to order your set.
