1:48 Spitfire Mk.V in the markings of squadron leaders is a decal sheet from DK Decals. It concentrates on machines flown by the leaders of individual squadrons, that is on aircraft carrying the codes of their own unit.
Responsibility details are not available.
The sheet is an accessory for a kit, not a model. It is produced for 1:48 scale and is defined thematically by the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.V in the markings of squadron leaders. How many schemes it contains and whether it adds national insignia or technical lettering is stated on the box of the sheet.
The Spitfire Mk.V was the most numerous version of the type, with a Merlin 45 series engine and several wing standards that differed in armament; in later service it also appeared with clipped wingtips for better agility at low altitude and with a tropical filter under the nose on machines deployed in the Mediterranean and Pacific areas. A squadron leader, unlike a wing commander, flew a machine of his own unit, so the aircraft carried the standard pair of squadron code letters and an individual letter, to which a personal emblem or a small additional symbol was often added.
The basis is a glossy surface under the decal, otherwise silvering appears. Cut the subjects out closely so that as little carrier film as possible is left, and soak briefly in lukewarm water; then let the decal slide off the paper onto the model itself so that you do not tear it with tweezers. Apply decal softener in thin layers and let it take hold on its own, especially across panel lines and rivets. With large code letters across the fuselage, take care that the letters on both sides sit at the same height, as asymmetry shows more than a small error in shade. Once dry, seal the decals with clear coat, pick out the lines and only at the end choose a matte or satin appearance.
This is a decal sheet, not a kit. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
