1:48 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XIV 2nd TAF is a decal set in 1:48 scale from DK Decals with the markings of machines of the Second Tactical Air Force of the RAF.
Responsibility details are not available.
This item is not a kit and not an add-on set of parts, but a sheet decal set in 1:48 scale. It serves so that a particular machine with particular markings can be built from a Spitfire Mk.XIV kit which you already have. Sets of this type concentrate on one theme and offer more than one variant of markings for it at once, so from one sheet different combinations of codes and emblems for several models usually arise.
The Spitfire Mk.XIV is the development branch of the Spitfire with the Rolls-Royce Griffon engine, which called for a longer nose, a more massive propeller and an enlarged vertical tail surface. Against the earlier versions with the Merlin engine the machine is more capable especially at higher speeds, and its silhouette is different at first sight. The abbreviation 2nd TAF denotes the Second Tactical Air Force of the Royal Air Force, that is, the formation intended for the direct support of ground operations in Western Europe at the close of the Second World War. It was precisely the machines of this formation that carried the striking tactical markings which make them attractive to modelers.
Apply the decals to smooth gloss varnish, never to a matte surface, as air will stay under matte paint and a white haze will arise around the decal. Cut the sheet close around the motif, soak it in lukewarm water for a few seconds and let it rest until the film releases itself from the backing. On engravings and rivets a decal softener helps: it is applied to a damp decal and left to act without being touched. Once dry, go over the surface with varnish and only then do the matting and the weathering, so that the edges of the sheet disappear.
The set holds only decals, and the model of the aircraft and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
