About this Plan

KK Supermarine Attacker. 16 in span flying scale for Jetex50.

Quote: "The Attacker is a single seat jet fighter used by the Royal Navy. Power is provided by a Rolls Royce Nene. Unlike most other jet fighters the Attacker features a tailwheel type undercarriage.

Building instructions. Cover the plan with greaseproof paper.

Fuselage. Pin pieces A,B,C,D,H and the pieces of 3/16 x 1/16 to the plan, apply cement to all the joints. These parts form the side view outline of the fuselage. Notice how pieces A and D join at the nose to give the side profile..."

Update 30/11/11: this plan now includes printwood.

Update 20/05/2013: Added a clearer copy of the printwood, thanks to vintage1.

    ScaleType: This (oz1396) is a scale plan. Where possible we link scale plans to Wikipedia, using a text string called ScaleType.

    If we got this right, you now have a couple of direct links (above) to 1. see the Wikipedia page, and 2. search Oz for more plans of this type. If we didn't, then see below.

    Notes:
    ScaleType is formed from the last part of the Wikipedia page address, which here is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarine_Attacker
    Wikipedia page addresses may well change over time.
    For more obscure types, there currently will be no Wiki page found. We tag these cases as ScaleType = NotFound. These will change over time.
    Corrections? Use the correction form to tell us the new/better ScaleType link we should be using. Thanks.

User comments

I fly the Attacker with a Rapier L2 150mN instead of the Jetex it was designed for. The wings are made to knock off and it covered with Airspan synthetic tissue and airbrushed with Tamiya acrylics. A TSP will probably fine to fly it with as Rapiers are not available now. Get more info from the Jetex.org website.

Notes

* Credit field

The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.

Scaling

This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
