Supermarine 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.

“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
