CONSTRUCTION
The main wing comes in three parts: a complete
lower wing which has raised attachment
points for catapult operations, and two upper
wing parts. There is a pair of air intakes
that fit either side of the radiator housing,
which is the principal external difference
between the Mk.I and the Mk.II version.
Wing wheel well doors come as one piece,
which needs to be parted into two pieces if the
undercarriage is assembled in lowered form.
Faint ejector pin marks are visible on these,
but can easily be removed by light sanding.
The three bladed airscrew comes in one
piece, with a separate spinner, and is easy
to assemble. A vee-shaped arrestor hook
comes as a separate piece which can be
assembled lowered, or retracted where it
fits into its housing at rear of fuselage.
Once you have added the basic interior there
are no pins to guide the mating of fuselage
halves, so I added tabs at three locations to
ensure alignment when gluing them together.
I detailed the interior rear compartment and
added two crew figures strapped to their seats.
The build of this model was quite
simple, with minimum filler needed, and
I quickly reached the painting stage.DECALS AND PAINTING
Markings are supplied for two NF Mk.IIs of
784 Sq, Fleet Air Arm (FAA), in an identical
temperate colour scheme of medium sea grey/
slate grey camouflage on the upper surfaces,
and light grey on the underside. A third marking
is for the Fulmar Mk.II from 809 Squadron
that participated in Operation Torch, which
has been repainted with an American US star
insignia. This is finished in dark slate grey/
extra dark sea grey on the upper surfaces,
with light grey undersides, and is coded 6B.
My pick fell on the Fulmar Mk.II used
in Operation Torch. I used Humbrol 31Slate
Grey and Humbrol HX6 Extra Dark Sea Grey
for the top camouflage and Compucolor
CA25 Light Grey for all underrsides.
The decals offer quite a selection, but
sadly I have to report that they were not to my
expectations. They are very well printed but
are both brittle and too thin to handle – I lost
the white lettering on the Operation Torch
Fulmar when they broke up, and I had to
replace them with some from my spare decal
box. For the rest of the sheet I applied a coat of
Klear, which improved the situation. Maybe a
coat of gloss varnish would be even better to
strengthen the decals before their application.FINAL BITS
For some reason, no wireless aerials are
indicated between the tailfin and mid-fuselage
aerial, other than those that connect the
tailplanes to a point at mid-fuselage. I added
these using refrence photos I found online. I
also modified the catapult attachment points
under the wings and slightly shortened the
undercarriage wheel well cover to fit.CONCLUSION
This is a good kit that could be worked up into
a lovely model. This is my third Fulmar, and in
view of its graceful design, I think that no FAA
collection is complete without at least one.0843(^6859)
