Attacker

The Supermarine Attacker kit is a 1:25 built-up scale, flying model jet.

The Attacker was a single-seat fighter derived from the Supermarine Spiteful. It combined the wings and landing gear of the Spiteful with a new fuselage and tail unit. The first production aircraft, an F1, flew in April 1950 and in August 1951 became the first jet aircraft to enter FAA front-line service.

This kit includes a full-size rolled plan, building instructions, hand sorted printed balsa and balsa strip wood, vacuum-molded canopy, wire, TissueCal™ markings, and Easy Built Lite tissue in dark gray and white. To build this model you will need a building board, hobby knife, fine sandpaper, and glue and catapult rubber.

CUSTOMER BUILDS & INFO

"This was built purely for rubber power. 21.8 grams" - Chris Starleaf

"Here's your Supermarine Attacker, converted to rubber. The nose is clay, for glide-testing. The stab tabs are necessary because the stab incidence is positive about 1 degree in relation to the wing. I'll mount the stab differently next iteration to allow for adjustment. Based on glide tests, I'm sure it will fly." - Matthew Payne
