About product

Kits-World 1:72 decals — roundels for the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.V

A sheet of waterslide decals in 1:72 scale from the Kits-World brand, focused on the national markings of the British Supermarine Spitfire fighter aircraft in the Mk.V version. It serves as an accessory to a finished model — the package holds no kit, paints or glue. The number and types of roundels are given in the instructions enclosed with the sheet.

The real subject

The Spitfire Mk.V was the most numerously built of the early versions of the Spitfire and in the first half of the war made up the backbone of the British fighter units. It came about by joining the airframe of the previous version with the more powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin engine of the 45 series. The most widespread sub-version, the Vb, combined machine guns with a pair of 20 mm cannon, and the Vc version was given the so-called universal wing. Machines deployed in the Mediterranean and in North Africa were recognized by the bulky dust filter under the nose. British roundels went through several changes of shape and proportion of colors during the war, which matters when building a model of a particular machine.

Tips for applying the decals

A glossy, perfectly hardened finish belongs under decals. Cut the elements out tightly by the artwork, soak them briefly in warm water and let them rest until the film comes loose. The roundels on the wing run across engraved lines and panel seams, so decal softener applied in thin layers comes in handy; once the film softens, stop moving it. Soak the surplus water away with a paper towel and seal the finished markings with varnish in the degree of gloss you want.

Who the sheet is for

  • Builders of models of the Spitfire Mk.V in 1:72 scale
  • Modelers whose box lacks the correct type of roundel for the given period
  • Those who build several machines of the same type and need a further set of markings
  • As a replacement for yellowed or damaged decals from older kits

It is a decal sheet, not a model. The kit, paints, glue and decal softener are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No, it is only a sheet of decals with national markings. The kit, paints and glue have to be bought separately.

The number of sets of roundels is given in the instructions enclosed with the sheet. If you need markings for several models at once, check it before ordering.

The sheet is intended for the Mk.V version, but roundels in themselves are a universal element of marking. What decides is the type of roundel and its diameter — before applying it, hold it against the model and compare it with the imprint in the original scheme.

Apply decals exclusively onto a glossy and fully hardened finish, soak the surplus water away and use decal softener. The haze comes from air bubbles between the film and a matte surface.
