About product

Fairey Firefly Mk.1 in 1:48 scale from Trumpeter

Injection-molded plastic kit of the British Fairey Firefly Mk.1 carrier-based fighter and reconnaissance aircraft in 1:48 scale from Trumpeter. The box contains parts in gray plastic, clear plastic for the cockpit glazing and a decal sheet; we recommend checking the exact contents and the number of schemes on the sheet in the box.

The real subject

The Firefly was a British two-seat carrier-based aircraft of the Fleet Air Arm of the World War II period, which served as a fighter and as a reconnaissance machine. It was developed by Fairey Aviation, powered by a Rolls-Royce Griffon V12 engine, and its armament consisted of four 20 mm Hispano cannon in the wings, supplemented by external stores for bombs or unguided rockets. Its characteristic features were folding wings for stowage on an aircraft carrier and the tandem arrangement of the pilot and the observer. The type also saw action after the war, among other places in Korea.

Building and painting tips

Work up and paint the cockpit in detail before closing the fuselage, because once it is glued there is no more access to the tandem interior. Cover the glazing with masks so that the frames stay sharp, and glue the clear parts only after painting. Use a thin liquid plastic cement on the joints, treat the surface with a primer and apply the shades with an airbrush. Leave the external stores and any folding of the wings to the end of the build.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of British Fleet Air Arm carrier aircraft
  • Modelers interested in World War II aircraft in 1:48 scale
  • Builders with intermediate experience who can handle the glazing and the external stores

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
