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

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

This Trumpeter 1/48 Supermarine Attacker F.1 Fighter model kit gives model builders a hands-on look at early carrier jet design. The Attacker represents a key step in naval aviation history with its tailwheel undercarriage and early jet layout, and the kit captures those defining elements for a satisfying build and display piece.

Assembly Notes and Display Tips

The 1/48 scale kit includes precision-molded PS parts that fit to recreate the Attacker's slender fuselage and wing profile. Builders will find clear instructions and decals included to reproduce authentic operational markings, while careful painting and seam work will enhance the finished display model.

Why This Aircraft Matters

The Supermarine Attacker was notable as one of the first operational naval jets, using the Rolls-Royce Nene engine to move from piston power to early jet propulsion. Constructing this kit is a way to explore mid-20th-century aircraft engineering and to preserve a short but important chapter in post-war military aviation.
