Mark I 1:144 Royal Navy lettering is a sheet of waterslide decals with lettering in black and white versions for British naval aviation, in two sets.
Responsibility details are not available.
A sheet of waterslide decals in 1:144 scale that holds lettering for British naval aviation, in a black as well as a white version. Unlike sheets with roundels, these are not finished symbols but letters and characters from which you put the lettering together yourself. According to the name there are two sets on the sheet. It is not a kit but an accessory to a model that is already built.
The lettering and the codes on naval aircraft differed from machine to machine, so a universal sheet with finished lettering would cover only a fraction of the possibilities. A set of letters, by contrast, makes it possible to put together practically any marking: the advantage is that you choose the characters yourself, the drawback is that more precise and more patient work awaits you. The two color versions then solve a practical problem: light lettering on dark camouflage and dark lettering on the light underside of the airframe.
Composed lettering stands and falls with a straight line and even spacing. The surest procedure is to stick thin strip tape onto the model as a guide line, to lay the individual characters along it and to remove the tape only once all the decals have dried. Work with plenty of water under the film so that a character can still be moved, and correct the position with the tip of a brush rather than with tweezers, as a point would tear the thin film. Cut the letters out one at a time and as closely as possible; at a scale this small the remains of carrier film between the characters are visible. The surface must be glossy, and once finished even it out with a matte varnish. Expect the individual characters in 1:144 scale to be at the limit of what can be handled, and keep a reserve ready.
This is a decal sheet, not a kit. The model, paints and varnish are not included in the package.
