The Trumpeter 02867 1/48 Supermarine Attacker FB.2 fighter model kit presents a carefully rendered miniature of a post-war British jet.

This kit is well suited to collectors and builders who enjoy historic military aviation subjects.

Introduced in the early 1950s, the Supermarine Attacker marked the move from props to jets in naval aviation. This 1/48 scale kit reproduces that transition with precise panel lines and cockpit elements that reflect the aircrafts basic layout. Modellers will value the clarity of detail provided in the moulding.

Building Experience and Display Value

The kit has a moderate number of parts, offering a satisfying build without excessive complexity. Assembly is straightforward but benefits from patient fitting and precise painting to bring out the best in the finished model. Once built, the streamlined profile and naval origins make it a striking piece for a shelf or themed display.
