Overview of the Trumpeter 02867 1/48 Supermarine Attacker FB.2

The Trumpeter 02867 1/48 Supermarine Attacker FB.2 model kit recreates a notable post-war British jet in compact scale. Recognised for its tailwheel undercarriage and status as the Royal Navys earliest jet fighter, the Attacker is reproduced here with attention to silhouette and surface features. The kit appeals to scale enthusiasts who value accurate historic subjects.

Historical context and model accuracy

As a 1950s design, the Supermarine Attacker represents the shift from piston engines to turbojet power in naval aircraft. This kit captures that era with defined panel lines and cockpit fittings that mirror the aircrafts basic arrangement. Builders looking for period accuracy will find the mouldings helpful for realistic results.

Building Experience and Display Value

With a moderate parts list, the kit provides engaging assembly without becoming overwhelming. Careful trimming and fitting will improve the final fit, and a tidy paint job will enhance the model for museum-style display or inclusion in a themed collection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Polystyrene plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Needed to complete authentic finish
The kit is a static scale model intended for display, but experienced modellers can add aftermarket details or adjust parts for diorama scenes.
Cockpit detail is moulded to reflect the Attacker's layout. Painting and small brushes will bring out instrument panels and seating to a convincing degree.
A hobby knife, fine sandpaper, tweezers, plastic cement and a selection of brushes are the essentials. A magnifier and good lighting help with small parts.
Use thin primer coats and light washes to protect recessed panel lines. Avoid heavy sanding over engraved lines and apply paint in thin layers to retain definition.
