No real need to go over the Airfix Lightning in 1:48 - just about everything which need to be said about it has already been done so many times over elsewhere. Using the CMK resincast conversion to produce the Saudi Trainer variant and the decals needed can be adapted from the MA sheet shown here. All decal sheets included are shown for completeness, but naturally most of it won't be used. If there's something there you need and I won't be using, let me know and you'll be welcome to them. (Other than the Saudi markings and stencils, there's nothing else here I will ever use).

Beautifully done. The retracting u/c is a fantastic touch.

Fantastic build Dave and it sure does look the part :cool just one thing if I may, I have done a wee bit of research on Lightning U/C as I am going to build one of mine taking off with U/C retracting, the forward landing gear stays down until the two rear legs are almost stowed in the wings. Here is a link to a picture.
