Airfix 1/48 Lightning RAF Leuchars decals

[beetcleaner]

My next build is an Airfix 1/48 Lightning and I'd like to finish it in a scheme based on an aircraft based at RAF Leuchars. I've searched the internet in vain with no joy. Used to go to airshows there as a young boy and would really like to do one based there. If 1/48 decals not available a 1/72 decal set would be a second choice. Thankyou for any advice

Hannants do some decal options. They still stock the Model Alliance sheet ML48134 which has at least one Leuchars F1. Alternatively the Xtradecal sheet X48099 has a later Leuchars F6. Try searching the Hannants site filtering for 1/48 decals with the keyword Leuchars....

I sorely miss the Leuchars airshows too. Big part of my formative years.

I built XR753 23 Sqn A with the white fin after finding a (very) poor black and white photo I took in the 70s at a Leuchars Air Day.  See https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/X48099.
