Supermarine Walrus Mk.I 1/48 Kit

This 1/48 scale plastic model kit depicts the Supermarine Walrus Mk.I amphibious aircraft. It contains 157 parts moulded in light grey and includes decals for three historical scheme options. The kit is rated at skill Level 3 and is intended for adult hobbyists and collectors who enjoy detailed aircraft modelling projects.

Upgrading From Simpler Kits

Builders moving up from snap-fit or lower-part-count subjects will find this kit a worthwhile step up in complexity and detail. The jump is worth it when you want a historically accurate representation with multiple marking choices and are comfortable working with cement and paint to achieve a museum-quality finish.

For Experienced Modellers Only

This kit suits modellers who have experience with cement assembly, seam filling and airbrush or brush painting techniques. It is not suitable for beginners seeking a quick build, younger builders, or anyone who prefers pre-painted or snap-together models that do not require additional tools and consumables.

Questions about this item

How much shelf depth and height does the assembled 1/48 scale Supermarine Walrus Mk.I need?

The finished model measures approximately 11.5 inches in wingspan and 9.375 inches in length, so allow at least that much clearance in both dimensions.

What is the most common mistake when building the 157-part Airfix Walrus Mk.I kit?

Builders often cement the upper and lower wing halves before fitting the interior cockpit details, which then cannot be inserted through the closed fuselage.

Which consumables will need replacing if I want to refresh the markings on this kit later?

The kit includes decals for three scheme options; once those are used or damaged, replacement decal sheets for the Supermarine Walrus Mk.I must be sourced separately.
