Responsibility details are not available.
A set of decals in 1:72 scale devoted to Spitfires in the armament of the Soviet Air Force. It is not a model of the airplane, but a sheet of markings on its own meant for finishing a kit that has already been built. Tiger Head Models is a Turkish manufacturer that concentrates on decal sheets and resin accessories with subjects that ordinary kits lack. The exact make-up of the schemes is given in the manufacturer's data.
The Supermarine Spitfire was a British fighter with an elliptical wing and a liquid-cooled V engine, which went through the whole of the Second World War in many progressively stronger versions. Besides the Royal Air Force, a number of other users received it under wartime deliveries to the Allies — among them the Soviet Air Force, where the machines served mainly with fighter and air defense units. Soviet Spitfires differ from the British ones not only in national insignia but also in the way they were re-marked and maintained in field conditions, which makes them a rewarding and visually distinct modeling subject.
Soviet schemes tend to be marked by use, so it pays to work with shades on them: lighten the base color slightly on the upper surfaces and, after the decals, add a filter or a thin wash in the scribed lines. Apply the decals themselves over a gloss surface, add a decal fixer and finally go over everything with a matte clear coat, so that the markings blend in with their surroundings. If you weather the model with pigments, do it only after flattening, otherwise the dust will catch on the carrier film of a decal too and the border will be visible.
This is a sheet of decals on its own. The kit, paints, clear coats and weathering products are not included in the package.
