About product

Decals for Keith W. Truscott and his aircraft in 1:48 scale from DK Decals

This is a decal sheet, not a kit. The package holds no plastic parts - the decals serve to mark models in 1:48 scale that you build separately. This sheet belongs to the range devoted to particular pilots, and its subject is the machines of the Australian fighter pilot Keith William Truscott. Which types and how many schemes the sheet holds is given in the instructions supplied.

The real subject

Keith William Truscott was an Australian fighter pilot of the Second World War. At home he was known before the war as an Australian rules football player; he joined the air force at the beginning of the war and started his combat career over Europe with a squadron flying Spitfires. After returning to Australia he carried on with a unit armed with American Kittyhawk fighters and served in the defense of northern Australia and New Guinea. He died in a flying accident in 1943. He is among the best-known Australian fighter pilots, and his machines are a rewarding subject precisely because they take in two entirely different aircraft in two different theaters and color schemes.

Tips for applying the decals

Apply the decals onto a gloss base only - on matte clear, air is trapped beneath them and silvering appears, which can then be removed only by taking the decal off. The order is therefore: paint, gloss clear, decals, decal softener and only at the end matte or semi-matte clear over the whole model. Personal emblems and lettering tend to be small and intricate; take them out of the water once they come free, slide them into place, draw off the excess water and press them down with a soft brush. On engraved lines and riveting a decal softener helps, pulling the decal down into the surface.

Who the sheet is for

  • Builders of Second World War fighters in 1:48 scale.
  • Anyone interested in the Royal Australian Air Force and the fighting in the Southwest Pacific.
  • Modelers who build the machines of particular pilots.
  • Collectors of decals from pilot ranges.

This is a decal set, not a kit. The model, paints, clear coat and decal softener are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is only a decal sheet for 1:48 scale. The kit, paints and clear coat all have to be obtained separately.

The particular types and the number of schemes are given in the instructions supplied. According to the name these are the machines flown by Keith W. Truscott.

An Australian fighter pilot of the Second World War. He fought first over Europe and then in the defense of Australia and over New Guinea; he died in 1943.

A matte surface is microscopically broken up, air is left beneath the decal and a silvery haze appears. Gloss clear prevents that.
