1/144 F-15 , F-117A and Attacker FB.1/ FB2 Upgrade Sets - Shelf Oddity

1/144 F-15 , F-117A and Attacker FB.1/ FB2 Upgrade Sets - Shelf Oddity 

Shelf Oddity have also produced a range of great looking PE sets for 144th scale aircraft available.

An extensive set for Dragon’s F-117A kit - new canopy frame, air intake meshes, landing gear doors and flat exhaust nozzles are included.


A generic F-15 set is quite universal, as it allows for backdating your Revell F-15E kit to F-15B/D version. While more adventurous modellers can go as far as F-15A/C with it, or could also use some of the parts supplied with other manufacturers kits.



And, a great set dedicated to a recent Miniwing release - the Supermarine Attacker FB.1/FB.2.

1/144 Supermarine ATTACKER FB.2 - Miniwings





1/144 Supermarine ATTACKER FB.2 - Miniwings

The Supermarine Attacker was a British single-seat naval jet fighter built by Supermarine for the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm (FAA). The type has the distinction of being the first jet fighter to enter operational service with the FAA. Like most other first-generation jet fighter, it has a short service life due to the rapid development of increasingly advanced aircraft during the 1950s and 1960s.

The Attacker developed from a Royal Air Force (RAF) fighter jet project, under Air Ministry Specification E.10 of 1944 (the E for experimental). The design of the Attacker used the laminar flow straight-wings of the Supermarine Spiteful, a piston-engined fighter intended to replace the Supermarine Spitfire, and what became the Attacker was originally referred to as the "Jet Spiteful".

The FB 2  introduced a new Rolls-Royce Nene engine and modifications to its structure. The Supermarine Attacker now had eight underwing pylons which could carry two 1,000 lb (454 kg) bombs or eight unguided rockets.

The project was intended to provide an interim fighter for the RAF while another aircraft, the Gloster E.1/44 also using the Nene was developed. An order for three prototypes was placed on 30 August 1944,the second and third of which were to be navalised. An order for a further 24 pre-production aircraft, six for the RAF and the remaining 18 for the Fleet Air Arm was placed on 7 July 1945.
