Print Scale 72-327 Decal Bristol Beaufort Part 1 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-327 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1:72 scale aircraft models of the Bristol Beaufort, a British twin-engine torpedo bomber operated during the Second World War. This decal set (Part 1) provides multiple historically documented marking options for Beaufort Mk I and Mk IA aircraft.

The Bristol Beaufort served with Royal Air Force units in coastal strike, torpedo training, and experimental roles. Aircraft represented in this set display a wide range of camouflage schemes, code styles, and unit identifiers reflecting different theatres of operation, including the United Kingdom, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East.

This decal set supports accurate representation of Bristol Beaufort aircraft in 1:72 scale. The decals are printed on thin carrier film for precise placement on the Beaufort’s large airframe and include identification markings and technical elements. Due to the size of the aircraft and the variety of marking options, this set is recommended for experienced modelers.
