Nthnmunky Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 First post, hoepfully you guys can help...I've purchased a 1/48 Airfix F2A/F6 EE Lightning kit, kit number A01978. This is a new box version of a kit originally available from 1997. The original kit was 09178 and had decal options for the exact version I'm wanting to build. The 56 Squadron version (Firebirds) was based in RAF Akrotiri during the early-mid 70s and my dear departed Dad served with the RAF out there. He spoke so highly of the plane and it kind of stuck with me. So I'd really like to build one in his memory. I have contacted Airfix directly but sadly the decals are no longer available from the original boxing and i wondered whether anyone here might have or know of a set which might be available? < This is the original kit boxingAAnd these ^ are the squadron markings I'm after. If anyone could help it would be fantastic. I obviously could swap my set of decals if someone wanted newer? Hopefully this doesn't break forum rules or anything... Just hoping for help after failing to get anywhere from other methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_hughes2 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Have you tried Hannants?I'm no expert on the aircraft (nor modelling) but a quick search of Lightning decal and 56 squadron returned this: https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/X48152?result-token=vGVKr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
