Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer, part one - decals 1:72 from the manufacturer Print Scale is a sheet of wet decals for the British carrier strike aircraft, not a kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is a decal sheet in 1:72 scale for the British Buccaneer strike aircraft. It is not a kit and not an accessory in plastic but a set of markings which you transfer onto a model already built and painted. The words part one mean that the manufacturer has divided the subject into several separate sheets and this is one of them. How many schemes the sheet contains and which particular aircraft it offers are given on the packaging of the sheet.
The Buccaneer was a British twin-engine carrier strike aircraft designed for attack from extremely low altitude, where enemy radar picks it up as late as possible. It was created originally as the Blackburn NA.39 and after the maker was merged into the Hawker Siddeley group it carried that name. Its fuselage was shaped according to the area rule, which gave it the characteristic waist in the middle, and for a short deck launch it used blowing of the leading edges and the flaps with compressed air from the engines. Among other things it carried its weapons in a rotating bomb bay door, which did not swing out into the airflow on release. The S.1 version had Gyron Junior turbojets, the more powerful S.2 Spey turbofans. It was in service with both the Fleet Air Arm and the Royal Air Force and flew until the 1990s.
Decals belong on a glossy surface. Matte varnish has a microscopically broken surface, air stays under a decal and a silvery gray haze appears. So varnish the model with gloss first, cut the decal out as close as possible, soak it in clean lukewarm water and let it release on a piece of paper. Transfer it onto an area moistened beforehand with a drop of water, as it can then be slid into position. Blot the excess water away with a cloth from the center toward the edges. On engraved lines and rivets a decal softener helps; once dry the film is drawn into the relief and looks like a sprayed finish. Finally seal everything with a matte or satin coat according to the character of the finish.
The package contains decals only. A kit, paints and varnishes are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
