Print Scale 72-199 Decal Handley Page Halifax Part 2 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-199 Waterslide Decals are designed for Handley Page Halifax projects in 1/72 scale (also written as 1:72). This “Part 2” set focuses on RAF Halifax bomber subjects with aircraft codes, serials, and national markings suitable for World War II-era builds.

The Handley Page Halifax served as a four-engine heavy bomber, and many aircraft carried prominent squadron code letters and large serial presentations. This decal sheet supports accurate code/serial combinations and period-style insignia placement typical of Halifax airframes in operational and special-duty roles.

For modelers, the set is useful when you want a Halifax with clearly defined squadron codes and serials that stand out at 1/72 scale. It is listed as universal, so it can be used with any compatible 1/72 Halifax plastic model kit. Because multi-part fuselage codes require careful alignment and symmetry across both sides, this set is best suited to intermediate to advanced builders.

FAQ

How many marking options are included in Print Scale 72-199?

The set provides seven aircraft marking options, numbered 1 through 7 in the instruction reference.

Do the options include different Halifax roles beyond standard bomber units?

Yes. In addition to night bomber-style subjects, the list includes towing duties and meteorological reconnaissance/training-related subjects (as labeled in the options).

Can I use these decals with any 1/72 Halifax kit?

The set is marked as universal. Confirm your kit version and details (radomes, exhausts, aerials, and other fit items) against the chosen option before final placement.

Apply the roundel positions first as reference points, then place code groups with light alignment guides and repeated dry fitting to keep spacing consistent on both sides.
