Supermarine Attacker
[ page 2 ]
FAA models in 1/72 scale
The model of the Supermarine Attacker was now to be decalled after it got a gloss coat of Johnson Clear varnish. I used also DACO decal setting fluid in certain areas, the decals conforming very well to the underlying surface.
The FAA aircraft depicted was the
Attacker serial WZ294 / code ST of NAS 1831, stationed at RNAS Stretton,
UK in 1955. Modeldecal set 56 provides
the decals of the plane. The decals have their glue coating coming off.
Use plenty of water to get rid of the glue and use newly applied water
dilutable glue in stead.
After ample decals drying time, the
model got another coat of matt Johnson Clear, realized by mixing into
the varnish some Tamiya X21 "flat base" agent. A semi matt
end effect was achieved.
The canopy was fitted and some antennas
from sprue and a pitot from a needle.
The model looks rather nice now and
not bad for a very old kit mould.
