Print Scale 72-097 Decal Martin B-26 Marauder Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-097 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1:72 scale plastic model kits of the Martin B-26 Marauder medium bomber. This decal set provides historically researched marking options for United States Army Air Forces B-26 aircraft operated during the Second World War.

The Martin B-26 Marauder was a twin-engine medium bomber widely used by the USAAF in the European and Mediterranean theatres. Operated by numerous bombardment groups, the type became known for its high-speed performance and later improved operational reliability. This decal sheet allows modelers to reproduce aircraft from several combat units with individual nose art, squadron codes, and period-correct national insignia.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to ensure accurate placement, sharp detail, and minimal visible film after sealing. The set is compatible with most 1:72 scale Martin B-26 Marauder aircraft model kits and is recommended for advanced modelers due to the size of the aircraft and the complexity of bomber markings.
