DK Decals 1:32 Spitfire Mk.VB, No. 313 (Czechoslovak) Squadron RAF, Operation Starkey is a decal set for Spitfire Mk.VB kits in 1:32.
Responsibility details are not available.
A decal set in 1:32 from the Czech decal brand DK Decals. It is not a kit: the package holds a decal sheet with which you finish an already built and painted model of the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.VB. The theme of the sheet is the markings of the machines of No. 313 (Czechoslovak) Squadron RAF from the period of Operation Starkey. If you are building a particular machine, check the contents of the sheet in advance against the illustration on the packaging.
Operation Starkey was an Allied deception operation carried out at the end of the summer of 1943 in the area of the English Channel and the Pas-de-Calais. Its aim was to suggest preparations for a landing, provoke a reaction from the enemy and tie down his forces in Western Europe. Fighter squadrons flew escort and sweep missions over northern France during it. No. 313 Squadron RAF was one of the Czechoslovak fighter units in Great Britain and at that time it was equipped with Spitfire Mk.VBs. The Mk.VB was the most widespread variant of the mid-war Spitfire, recognizable among other things by the B type wing with two cannons and four machine guns.
Decals settle best onto gloss varnish; varnish the model with clear gloss before applying them, otherwise the edges may turn matte, an effect known as silvering. Separate the individual decal, soak it in lukewarm water and slide it into place, blot the surplus water away and use a decal softener so that the material conforms to the engraved lines and the rivets. Once it has dried completely, wipe the remains of the adhesive off with a damp cloth and seal the whole model with a matte or semi-matte varnish according to the finish you want. In 1:32 the decals are large and a mistake in position shows a great deal, so measure the position in advance against documentation.
Decals are not a kit. The model, paints, varnish and softener are not included in the package.
