Print Scale 72-205 Decal Martin Type 167 Maryland Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-205 waterslide decals are designed for 1/72 scale aircraft models of the Martin Type 167 “Maryland” family. This decal set provides documented marking options for Maryland variants used by British and French services during the WWII period, suitable for a historically neutral presentation on compatible plastic model kits.

The Martin 167 series is best known as a light bomber / reconnaissance design delivered in several sub-variants and local designations. On a 1/72 build, the aircraft’s fuselage codes, roundels, and tail identifiers are prominent visual elements, so accurate markings help define the final look of the model.

For modelers, this sheet is useful if you want a Maryland project with specific aircraft identities rather than generic national insignia. The set is listed as universal for 1/72 Maryland kits with matching dimensions. Because the options include multiple codes and serials that require careful alignment across curved surfaces and panel lines, this set is generally more comfortable for intermediate and advanced builders.

FAQ

Which Maryland variants does this decal set cover?

The options include Martin 167F Maryland Mk I subjects, a Maryland Mk II option, and a Martin 167F Maryland A3 subject, as listed in the marking options section.

Are the marking options tied to both British and French services?

Yes. The included options reference FAA and RAF use as well as French units including Aeronavale and reconnaissance groups.

Will these decals work with any 1/72 Maryland kit?

The set is listed as universal. Best results are expected on 1/72 kits that match the Martin 167 / Maryland airframe dimensions and typical marking placement for the relevant variant.

What helps with placing codes and roundels cleanly on a 1/72 bomber-type airframe?

A smooth gloss base coat, careful alignment, and optional decal setting solutions can help reduce silvering and improve conformity over panel lines. Use standard waterslide decal methods according to modeler preference.
