Print Scale 72-328 Decal Bristol Beaufort Part 2 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-328 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1:72 scale aircraft models of the Bristol Beaufort, a twin-engine aircraft used in maritime, training, and transport roles during the Second World War. This decal set (Part 2) provides multiple documented marking options suitable for plastic model kits representing Beaufort aircraft operated in the Asia-Pacific region.

The Bristol Beaufort appeared in several variants and was produced both in the United Kingdom and Australia. Aircraft included in this set display a range of camouflage schemes, unit codes, and serial styles reflecting different operational environments and late-war service conditions.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to allow accurate placement on the Beaufort’s fuselage, wings, and tail surfaces. This set is compatible with any 1:72 scale plastic model kit representing the Bristol Beaufort and is recommended for advanced modelers due to the number of marking options and the surface area involved.
