Print Scale 48-081 Decal Bristol Blenheim. The complete set 2 leaf Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-081 Waterslide Decals are a two-sheet marking set for 1/48 scale models of the Bristol Blenheim. The decals provide squadron codes, serials, national markings, and selected emblem artwork to finish multiple Blenheim subjects from different operators and locations within the 1937–1941 period shown in the profiles.

The Bristol Blenheim family includes early bomber variants as well as the Mk.IF fighter configuration. This set combines RAF-style code/serial layouts with additional options for Finnish-operated aircraft, giving a range of visually distinct builds without requiring custom-printed codes or oversized masking.

Designed for 1/48 scale (also written as 1:48) aircraft projects, Print Scale 48-081 is listed as a universal option for compatible Blenheim kits. Several choices use large fuselage codes and multi-part identifiers, so planning placement around panel lines and clear parts is recommended before final sealing coats.

FAQ

How many marking options are included in Print Scale 48-081?

The set includes eight marking options, numbered 1 through 8 in the instruction profiles.

Does this sheet cover both RAF and Finnish-operated Blenheims?

Yes. The options include RAF subjects with squadron codes/serials and additional aircraft identified as Finnish Air Force examples in the profiles.

Is the Blenheim Mk.IF represented, or only the Mk.I?

One option is presented as a Blenheim Mk.IF (L1426, “RX-M”), while the remaining options are listed as Mk.I subjects.

Are large roundels and code letters included, or will I need to mask them?

The decal sheets include roundels and large code/serial characters for the listed subjects, allowing the main identifiers to be applied as decals rather than painted masks.

What is a practical approach for applying large fuselage codes cleanly?

Applying decals over a smooth gloss or satin surface, aligning using panel lines and access hatches as reference points, and sealing after full drying helps keep long code segments straight and reduces edge silvering.
