A sheet with the markings of one particular machine: the Hurricane Mk.I with the serial number P2961 and the code LE-A of No. 242 Squadron RAF. According to the manufacturer the Basic Set version contains only the markings belonging to this aircraft, that is the code letters, the serial number and the personal paintings. The national insignia, that is the roundels and fin flashes, are not in the package and the manufacturer supplies them separately in the ADD24C104 range. The full version of the same machine is a separate item under the part number ADD24007-1 and does contain the national insignia.
Machine P2961 was assigned on June 2, 1940 to No. 242 Squadron RAF, a unit with a majority of Canadian pilots. It is associated with William Lidstone McKnight, a pilot from Alberta, the most successful Canadian fighter pilot of the Battle of Britain and a frequent wingman of Douglas Bader. The aircraft carried striking decoration: the squadron's boot kicking Hitler and McKnight's personal painting of the Grim Reaper with a scythe. McKnight did not return in this machine from an offensive flight over the French coast on January 12, 1941.
A decal is applied with water: it is slid into place and settled with a decal fixer. On riveted and curved surfaces a decal softener is added, after which the film is pliable and must not be touched. A smooth gloss coat belongs under a decal, otherwise the edge of the film will go white; once it is dry, varnish the whole thing over.
This is an accessory for a model, not a kit. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
