About product

Art Scale 1:24 Spitfire Mk.IX: technical stencils

A sheet of waterslide decals by the manufacturer Art Scale with technical stencils and service markings for models of the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX fighter aircraft in 1:24 scale. They are not national insignia or the personal markings of particular machines: they are the small captions that on the real aircraft marked the filler necks, the access panels, the tie-down and lifting points or the instructions for the ground crew. In the large 1:24 scale these stencils are legible and leaving them out is immediately noticeable on a finished model.

The real subject

The Spitfire Mk.IX arose as a quick answer to the appearance of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 fighter. A two-stage supercharged Rolls-Royce Merlin engine was built into an airframe derived from the Mk.V version, which gave the type back its superiority at higher altitudes. The recognition feature is the longer nose with two cooling air intakes under the wing. The Mk.IX became one of the most-produced versions of the Spitfire and served with a number of Allied air forces.

How to work with the decals

Waterslide decals hold reliably only on a smooth glossy base, so first spray the surface with a gloss varnish and let it cure. Dip the decal briefly, leave it to rest on its paper and slide it into place. Soak the excess water up with a paper towel and apply a decal softener, so that the stencil settles onto the engraved lines and the rivets. Lay the small captions down one at a time and check them against the drawing, so that the orientation is right as well. Once dry, varnish the whole model with a matte coat, so that the edges of the decals disappear and the surface is unified.

Who the sheet is for

  • builders of large models of the Spitfire in 1:24 scale
  • modelers whose model lacks the small technical captions
  • those who want to take a model up to competition level of detail
  • those interested in adding stencils that were not in the base kit or that got damaged

FAQ

The sheet is intended for technical stencils and service markings, not for national insignia. Check the particular contents against the illustration of the sheet on the box.

It is not. It is an accessory for a model in 1:24 scale; the kit itself needs to be obtained separately.

In 1:24 scale the captions are large and legible. Without them the surface looks empty and the model loses its sense of scale.

Onto a glossy base, with a softener and with the excess water soaked up. Once dry, varnish the whole model with a matte coat.
