Trumpeter 02867 1/48 Supermarine Attacker FB.2 - Heritage Jet Modellers Kit  [TP02867]

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.
