Summary - Trumpeter 02867 1/48 Supermarine Attacker FB.2

The Trumpeter 02867 1/48 Supermarine Attacker FB.2 kit recreates a noteworthy post-war British jet fighter in compact scale. Celebrated for its tailwheel undercarriage and as the Royal Navys first jet fighter, the Attacker is modelled here with an emphasis on accurate outline and surface texture. It is a solid pick for enthusiasts of historic military aircraft.

Why this kit reflects the aircrafts heritage

Entering service in the early 1950s, the Supermarine Attacker illustrated the transition from piston to jet propulsion in naval aviation. This kit reflects that era with defined panel detailing and cockpit features that echo the original layout. Modelmakers will find the parts well suited to period restoration or display projects.

Yes, the 1/48 scale makes it a good size for shelf displays and mixed collections featuring post-war naval aircraft.
Wash parts to remove mould release, use a primer suited to polystyrene and mask carefully for crisp colour demarcations. Thin coats give the best finish.
The kit permits a parked presentation with landing gear down. Test fit gear before final gluing to ensure correct stance and alignment.
Paint instrument faces with fine brushes and apply a light wash to bring out controls. Seat belts and small decals or painted details improve authenticity.
