About product

Polish squadrons from England to the Apennines

Polish airmen made up whole squadrons in the Royal Air Force and in the course of two years their Spitfires moved from bases in southern England through a Belgium being liberated all the way to the Italian front. Each of those theaters brought with it a different coloring of the aircraft, different wear and a different mood; the sheet captures that with a trio of machines separated by just under two years.

The trio of subjects

  • the machine MA563 with the code SZ-V of No. 316 Squadron, the summer of 1943
  • the aircraft MK984 of the LF.IX form with the code ZF-R of No. 308 Squadron at a Belgian airfield, the fall of 1944
  • the aircraft PL353 of the LF.IX form with the code LW-D of No. 318 Squadron, Italy 1945

The inner variety of the selection is interesting. The first machine belongs to a classic fighter squadron in the islands, the second catches a unit already on the continent, where it moved behind the advancing front, and the third aircraft served with a unit that over Italy carried out reconnaissance duties as well. A model built according to any one of them therefore fits an entirely different display case.

Building recommendation

The code letters are large on these machines and run across the rounded side of the fuselage as well as across the trailing edges, so it is advisable to lay the print on a damp base and to shape it with a brush in two steps. On the fin and the underside of the wing there is then usually room for the serial number as well, which the sheet carries separately. In the package are the decals only, not the kit or clear coats.

Collectors putting together a series by theater will appreciate that all three markings can be built from one envelope without buying further sheets.
