1:32 Supermarine Spitfire Stencils [Mk.IIa Mk.VIII Mk.Vb Mk.IXc Mk.XVIe]

Techmod 1:32 Supermarine Spitfire stencils (decals, 1:32 scale)

This is a sheet of wet waterslide decals, not a kit. It holds a complete set of technical and maintenance stencils for models of the British Supermarine Spitfire fighter in several versions, Mk.IIa, Mk.VIII, Mk.Vb, Mk.IXc and Mk.XVIe, in 1:32 scale.

What the sheet offers

Stencils are the small service markings, the labels for access panels and filler ports, the warnings and the other service notices that give a model a realistic, fully worked surface. Their positions are shown in separate views with overall drawings, so you can place the stencils easily on the right spots across the individual versions.

The real subject

The Supermarine Spitfire was the key British fighter of the Second World War and went through a long development series of versions. The individual sub-versions differed in their wings, engine and armament, and the layout of the technical stencils matches that.

Application and tips

Small stencils call for patience, so work one at a time, dip the decal briefly in lukewarm water and settle it gently. Apply them onto a gloss coat, use a softening solution so that the stencil sinks into the engraved lines, and go over them with clear varnish once they are dry.

Who it is for

• Builders of the Spitfire in 1:32 who want a faithful surface
• Modelers building several versions (Mk.IIa, Mk.VIII, Mk.Vb, Mk.IXc, Mk.XVIe)
• Anyone after complete technical stencils beyond the basic markings

This is a decal sheet on its own. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.
