I found this book good in quality but very frustrating - lots of illustrations of lots of schemes (esp the late lo-viz schemes - I used to see these a lot when I went to visit my aunt during the summer holidays, since she lived in the Binbrook flight path) but a big hole in the aftermarket where stencils are concerned - I know Roy at Barracuda did black stenciling for natural metal and grey/green schemes, but those are OOP, and nobody has ever done nice white stenciling.

Not really a flaw on the part of the book - just using the opportunity to vent about the aftermarket possibilities for the Lightning which nobody seems to want to fill. I've got three 1/48th kits in the stash, all on hold until somebody does a good quality stencil sheet.
