Responsibility details are not available.
A sheet with the markings of two particular machines: the reconnaissance Spitfire FR Mk.IXs with the serial numbers MJ518 and MK374 of No. 414 Squadron RCAF. The full version, that is the Full Set, contains according to the manufacturer both the markings belonging to these aircraft and the national insignia, so no further sheet is needed to complete the markings. Anyone who sprays the roundels and fin flashes through masks had better reach for the Basic Set version ADD24009-2X, which does not contain the national insignia.
No. 414 Squadron RCAF was reclassified as a fighter reconnaissance squadron on June 28, 1943 and together with No. 400 and No. 430 Squadrons made up No. 39 Reconnaissance Wing RCAF, formed in August 1943 and disbanded in August 1945. It flew tactical reconnaissance for the ground forces and, from the end of 1944, photographic sorties over Germany as well. Unlike the purely photographic machines, the reconnaissance Spitfire FR Mk.IX kept its armament and was given cameras on top of it, so the pilot could both photograph and fight. MJ518 and MK374 are given by the manufacturer as machines of No. 414 Squadron in this role.
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.
