1:72 Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane National Insignia Battle of Britain 1940

Spitfire and Hurricane National Insignia Battle of Britain 1940, 1:72 (Xtradecal)

Waterslide decals in 1:72 scale with the national insignia of the Royal Air Force for models of the Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane fighters from the period of the Battle of Britain in 1940. The sheet holds fuselage and wing roundels and other national marking in the period form, which suits as a complement to or a replacement for the insignia from a basic kit.

The real subject

In the summer of 1940 the Spitfire and the Hurricane formed the backbone of the fighter defense over southern England. RAF national insignia went through changes of style and proportion at that time, which this specialized sheet takes into account, letting a modeler put together a period-accurate combination of insignia for one particular machine.

Use

• Apply them over gloss varnish for even settling and without silvering.
• Release the decal in lukewarm water and slide it onto the model.
• Press the roundels onto curved leading edges with softener.
• Seal them with clear varnish to the degree of gloss you want.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building the Spitfire or the Hurricane in 1:72 scale.
• Anyone after accurate period national insignia of 1940.
• Those who want to replace lower-quality insignia from a box.

This is a stand-alone set of decals with national insignia, not a kit. The model and the paints are not included in the package.
