Trumpeter 02866 - 1/48 Supermarine Attacker F.1 Fighter Model Kit Retro Naval Jet  [TP02866]

Trumpeter 02866 - 1/48 Supermarine Attacker F.1 Fighter Model Kit Overview

The Trumpeter 1/48 Supermarine Attacker F.1 kit recreates an early carrier jet with clear reference to the original aircraft layout. Enthusiasts will recognise the Attacker's transitional design as it moved from propeller craft to jet operation, and the kit mirrors those distinctive lines for display or diorama use.

Model Build Characteristics

At 1/48 scale, the kit presents finely moulded PS components that capture structural detail. Modelers receive decals and an instruction guide to place markings correctly, and the parts lend themselves to adding weathering or panel line enhancement for realism.

Historical Context and Engine Detail

The Supermarine Attacker played a brief but notable role in naval aviation, powered by the Rolls-Royce Nene and demonstrating the leap to jet propulsion. Building this kit provides a practical way to study early jet airframe proportions and post-war aircraft development.
