About product

Exotic Spitfires 1:48 — a Tiger Head Models decal sheet

The sheet contains printed decals in 1:48 scale for finishing a model of the Supermarine Spitfire fighter in less usual markings. The package contains no plastic or resin parts; it is purely an accessory to a model that the modeler buys separately. The manufacturer is the Turkish brand Tiger Head Models, whose sheets concentrate precisely on unusual and export schemes.

The theme of the sheet

The Spitfire is among the best known fighters of all and in modeling display cases it usually appears in British or Mediterranean finish. During its long career, though, the type reached the air forces of a whole range of countries across continents, and there it acquired markings that are markedly less worn out to a modeler's eye. It is these users the sheet is aimed at: it lets you build an intimately familiar airframe in colors the public at an exhibition does not usually expect.

Application tips

The key to a clean result is a smooth surface. After spraying the paint, polish the model and go over it with a gloss clear coat, so that a decal settles without air bubbles. Apply the motifs from the top down and from larger to smaller, so that you have somewhere to put your fingers. Should a bubble appear under the film after all, pierce it with the point of a needle and put a drop of decal softener over the puncture — the film draws in and the mark disappears.

Who the sheet is for

  • Modelers who have several Spitfires in a display case and are looking to set one apart
  • Collectors of export and postwar aircraft
  • Builders of competition models, where unusual subjects score points
  • Those interested in a better replacement for the decals from the original kit

This is an accessory for a model. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

A particular list is not stated here, because it has not been verified. The name suggests a focus on less usual users of the type; we recommend checking the exact contents against the packaging and the enclosed instructions.

That depends on the particular schemes on the sheet. Before building, check that the version and airframe shape you have chosen match the markings you have chosen.

No. These are decals only. The kit, paints and glue are all bought separately.

Pierce it with the point of a needle and put on a drop of decal softener or water. The film draws in as it dries and the hole closes up.
