Got some more decals on the Lightning F3S now.

The right hand side, bar the big fin decal, and the underside are sorted.

You cannot view this attachment.

You cannot view this attachment.

I have to add the myriad stencils, well some of them anyway, and the blasted canopy markings that I have yet to locate, but I'm on the trail of an extra kit at the moment.

Then it's just the landing gear and the nose probe.........

As I'm doing this is a 'short break' hotel room, I don't have too many facilities to hand, so I'm a bit wary of doing that socking great fin decal, but I might manage later in the week.

Not sure the F3 had a tail hook, however this is an F36 so I suppose that version did.

Neither did the F3 have guns, but the Swedes insisted.  ;D

In a finger trembling session this evening I've got the starboard side fin decal on now too!  :o

It's a BIG decal, covering the entire fin in one piece, and needs very careful trimming to ensure the various objects are in the right place relative to the plastic. Amazingly it went on almost perfectly, much better than the port side. I had to do that one twice, thank goodness I always print spares.

No pic yet as it needs some trim parts from the F2a kit overlaid, but the whole decaling might be finished by the weekend.

Darn it, I'm not going to finish this before the end of the GB, despite the extension, as I've got to head back up north on railway things again.  :banghead:

I will finish it though, all the tough stuff is already done, so I'll move to out of the GB listing, if I'm allowed to anyway.

No reason why not Kit. If you need me to let me know.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Errrrm, I don't know how to, so could you move it to the 'normal' aircraft projects page please?

So am I.  ;D

But it'll take a little while yet.

And thanks VERY much for the whole idea, and for the artwork.  :thumbsup:
