Trumpeter 02867 1/48 Supermarine Attacker FB.2 - model summary

The Trumpeter 02867 1/48 Supermarine Attacker FB.2 kit offers a faithful miniaturisation of a post-war British naval jet. Known for its unusual tailwheel undercarriage and for being the Royal Navys first operational jet fighter, the Attacker is represented here with clear attention to proportions and surface detail. The kit is aimed at hobbyists who enjoy classic military aircraft.

Period relevance and moulding quality

First appearing in the early 1950s, the Supermarine Attacker symbolised the move to jet propulsion in carrier aviation. This model captures that transition through accurate surface engraving and cockpit layout cues that match the original design. The parts present a good balance of detail and buildability.

Building Experience and Display Value

The parts count is moderate, giving a rewarding build that is not overly intricate. Careful gluing and neat paintwork will produce a high quality display model that highlights the Attacker's clean lines and naval heritage.
