Supermarine ATTACKER F.1

Royal Navy No.800 Squadron Carrier Eagle 1951
@This is the first fighter for Royal Navy that was test flown in 1946. These were served to Royal Navy since 1951 and this WA496 was one of the first served ATTACKERs. ATTACKER was built only 145, and were superseded by SEA HAWKs and SEA VENOMs from 1954. It may be a matter of cause that jet planes were in the middle of development in those days and new one was developed one after another.
The kit is novo made same as SEA HAWK that was 47th finished kit. Therefore it has same style around the cockpit. The pilot has a head without body. There are no spaces for putting in the landing gears but the lines for showing the space. So, I needed some works for making the space, seat, control panel and so on. I have JAVELIN of novo made, that's box is not yet opened. Does it have same situation as this ATTACKER and SEA HAWK?
Decal is so thin. So if you don't coat it by clear color it will be torn surely. Two tones as extra dark sea-gray and sky. It is so nice! Don't you think so?
