Print Scale 48-096 Decal Boulton Paul Defiant Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-096 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1/48 scale aircraft models of the Boulton Paul Defiant. This sheet provides squadron-style code letters, serials, roundels, fin flashes, and individual artwork elements for several WWII-era Defiant finishes presented in the included placement guide.

The decals support both standard camouflage presentations and overall dark night-fighter style schemes, with markings arranged to reproduce the specific aircraft identities shown. Scale: 1/48 (also written as 1:48).

The Defiant was a two-seat fighter with a powered turret, and its markings often combine large codes with clearly positioned national insignia. The options in this set reflect that layout, including code groups, serial blocks, and distinctive nose or fuselage details where applicable.

For modelers, this sheet is helpful when you want consistent lettering across both fuselage sides and clean roundel edges without masking. Several options use large code characters that benefit from careful alignment; checking placement against your kit’s panel lines and turret fairing areas before final setting can improve the result.

FAQ

How many aircraft options are included in Print Scale 48-096?

The placement guide presents five numbered Defiant subjects, and the decal sheet is organized around those five options.

Which Defiant variant is this sheet intended for?

The marking options shown are for the Defiant F Mk.I, so it is best matched to 1/48 kits representing that version.

Does the set cover night-fighter style finishes?

Yes. Several options in the guide are presented in an overall “Special Night” finish, with markings suited to that style of aircraft presentation.

Will these decals work with any 1/48 Defiant kit?

The set is listed as universal for 1/48 scale. Because different kits can vary in panel lines and part breakdown (especially around the turret area), it helps to compare the placement guide with your specific kit before final application.
