Print Scale 48-240 Decal Bristol Beaufort RAAF Part-2 Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-240 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1/48 scale plastic model kits of the Bristol Beaufort in Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) service (Part 2). The sheet provides aircraft codes, serials, national insignia, and option-specific artwork for Beaufort variants used in Australia and the South West Pacific region during 1943–1945. Scale: 1/48 (also written as 1:48).

The Bristol Beaufort was a twin-engine aircraft used by the RAAF for maritime and operational duties, and its late-war finishes often featured large code groups and clear serial presentation. This set focuses on documented RAAF aircraft identities linked to training and squadron use, including subjects associated with New South Wales and New Guinea locations.

For modelers, this decal sheet is useful when you want consistent RAAF roundels and fin markings alongside large-format code letters that define each aircraft option. The set is listed as universal and can be applied to any compatible 1/48 Bristol Beaufort kit. Due to the size of the code groups and the need for careful alignment on curved fuselage areas, this set is generally better suited to intermediate and advanced builds.
