1:32 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.VB No. 313 (Czechoslovak) Squadron is a decal set with the cartoon motifs that Sergeant Karel Pavlik painted on the machines of No. 313 Czechoslovak Squadron. Part one.
Responsibility details are not available.
The package holds printed decals in 1:32 scale, not a kit. They were released by the Czech brand DK Decals, which specializes in the markings of Second World War aircraft. The subject is the first part of the cartoon motifs with which the Spitfire Mk.VBs of No. 313 Czechoslovak Squadron of the RAF were painted in 1942. The number of schemes on the sheet is not stated here.
No. 313 Czechoslovak Squadron was formed in May 1941 and from mid-December of the same year it operated in the Hornchurch wing with Spitfire Mk.VBs, which carried the code letters RY. In the first half of 1942 it flew offensive operations over occupied France and Belgium against an opponent from JG 26. It was exactly then that cartoon characters from the Walt Disney studio appeared on its machines. They were painted by hand by Sergeant Karel Pavlik, a native of Pilsen and a sign painter by original trade, below the windscreen of the cockpit and precisely to the wishes of the individual pilots. One of the best-known motifs was the kitten Robber on machine AD380 coded RY-R. Pavlik himself was killed in action on May 5, 1942.
Decals hold best on a smooth gloss clear coat. Cut out only one motif at a time, soak it in warm water and slide it into place; a drop of wetting agent will help the artwork flow around the rivets and the panel lines. Soak the excess water up with a cotton swab and let it dry overnight. Then seal the surface with a matte or semi-gloss varnish, so the edges of the carrier film disappear. The standard British camouflage scheme of the time stands on green and gray on top and a light underside.
This is a separate decal set. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
