1:48 Supermarine Spitfire FR Mk.IXc - MJ518 and MK374 of 414 Squadron, 39 Wing RCAF (Full Set) is a decal sheet for two particular machines, the Supermarine Spitfire FR Mk.IXc MJ518 and MK374 of No. 414 Squadron RCAF. The full version contains, besides the markings of the aircraft, the sheet of national markings for the Spitfire as well.
Responsibility details are not available.
A decal sheet aimed at two particular machines, not at national markings in general and not at technical stencils. This is the full version: according to the manufacturer it contains the markings belonging to these aircraft and, in the same package, the sheet of national markings for the Spitfire, ADD48C109-1, as well. The basic version ADD48009-2X, which the manufacturer lists separately, does not have that sheet and is intended for builders who spray their roundels and rudder stripes through masks. The sheet covers MJ518 with the code O and the nickname Helen II and MK374 with the code R.
The Spitfire FR Mk.IXc was the tactical reconnaissance version of the fighter with the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. It was given an obliquely mounted camera in the side of the fuselage behind the cockpit and kept its armament all the while, so the pilot could photograph and defend himself at the same time. No. 414 Squadron RCAF flew tactical reconnaissance with it over north-western Europe within No. 39 Wing in the last year of the war. MJ518 with the nickname Helen II flew with F/L Mike Carr in the second half of 1944. It was on MK374 with the code R that S/L Gordon Wonnacott became an ace, when on January 1, 1945 during Operation Bodenplatte he shot down three German aircraft.
Apply the decals onto a dried gloss coat and cut the items off one at a time. Set the large roundels in a single attempt and the small codes and serial numbers afterward. Compare the positions with the instructions and with a photograph of the machine. Once it is dry, varnish the whole thing according to the scheme.
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.
