About product

The peak of the carrier fighter's development

The F6F-5 version closed the line of development that from the middle of 1943 took the main weight of the fighting over the Pacific on the decks of American carriers. Against the earlier -3 it was given smoother engine cowling, strengthened armor behind the pilot's back and pylons for rockets and bombs, so a pure fighter became a universal machine capable of attacking ground targets.

Four particular machines on the sheet

The first finish belongs to an aircraft with a white 25 of VF-19, flown by Bruce Williams from the carrier Lexington in a three-tone camouflage scheme. The second is the machine of the commander of carrier air group CAG 15, David McCampbell, from the carrier Essex, the most successful American naval fighter pilot of the war. The third carries the white 9 of Lieutenant Charles Stimpson of VF-11 from the carrier Hornet, and the fourth the number 71 of Lieutenant Leo McCuddin of VF-20 from the deck of the Enterprise.

What the sheet is good for

This is a separate set of decals that the builder adds to a plastic kit of the matching type and scale. The carrier film is thin and once dry merges with the paint, so no visible step arises on the surface. The decals are separated motif by motif rather than in whole fields, and they are applied onto a smooth gloss base.

  • Scope: four complete finishes including national insignia and tactical numbers
  • Setting: carrier squadrons of the US Navy in 1944 and 1945
  • Recommended procedure: a gloss intermediate coat, a decal softener, a matte final coat

FAQ

It is not. This is a separate decal sheet that is added to a kit in 1:32 that has already been bought.

Four, each for a different machine and a different carrier squadron; the details of all four are given in the documentation with the sheet.

Onto a smooth gloss coat. A matte surface under a decal causes the lightening of the edges that is called silvering.

Yes, the motifs relate to particular machines rather than to one kit manufacturer, so they can be used on any model of the matching scale.
