Responsibility details are not available.
A decal sheet from the Canadian brand Aviaeology with the markings of particular machines, that is, with codes, national insignia and serial numbers. It is not a kit, but decals for a model you buy separately. The manufacturer issued the sheet for the Typhoons of 143 Wing RCAF, to which 438, 439 and 440 Squadrons belonged, and it covers the period from 1944 through to Operation Bodenplatte. Check the scale of the sheet and the exact extent of the markings on the box.
The Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib was a powerful and heavy attack aircraft with a twenty-four-cylinder liquid-cooled Napier Sabre engine. By 1944 it no longer flew as a fighter but as a fighter-bomber of the Second Tactical Air Force: it carried four cannon, bombs or unguided rockets and destroyed equipment, trains and strongpoints behind the front. After the landings in Normandy the Canadian squadrons of 143 Wing moved to the continent and were stationed at the Dutch airfield at Eindhoven. It was that airfield that was hit on 1 January 1945 by the German strike against Allied airfields, Operation Bodenplatte, and the Canadian squadrons lost a large part of their machines there on the ground.
The Typhoon has wide invasion stripes and large codes, so prepare a smooth gloss coat under the decals. Carry the large motifs onto a wet surface so that they can be moved, and press the water out from the center toward the edges. Over fabric and riveted surfaces alike a softener helps, and the stronger one should be diluted. At the end give it a coat matching the sheen of the real machine.
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.
