Print Scale 144-007 Decal Martin B-26 Marauder Part 1 Scale 1:144 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 144-007 Waterslide Decals provide markings for 1:144 scale Martin B-26 Marauder aircraft, presented as Part 1 of a multi-subject series. The sheet includes unit codes, serials, nose art elements, national insignia, and selected stencil-style details intended for WWII-era B-26 builds.

The set combines United States Army Air Forces subjects with several Armée de l’Air B-26 options dated to 1945. This allows a small-scale model to be finished with either US unit identifiers or French post-landing roundels and tail markings, depending on the selected aircraft option.

The Martin B-26 Marauder was a twin-engine medium bomber used widely during the Second World War, with multiple production blocks and field-applied markings that varied by unit and period. In 1:144 scale, the type is well suited to clean camouflage work paired with prominent codes, tail identifiers, and compact nose art.

For modelers, this sheet is useful when you want a B-26 project with distinctive squadron codes and individual aircraft identifiers without relying on kit-supplied decals. Due to the combination of large code letters/numbers and small placement items, the set is generally better suited to intermediate to advanced builds and benefits from careful alignment and a smooth gloss surface before application.
