Print Scale 72-391 Decal Bristol Beaufighter Part 2 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-391 waterslide decals are designed for 1/72 scale aircraft plastic model kits of the Bristol Beaufighter. This Part 2 sheet provides multiple RAF-era marking options across several Beaufighter variants, combining squadron codes, serials, and national insignia for WWII night-fighter and strike-era subjects.

The Beaufighter family served in a range of RAF roles during the 1939–1945 period, including home defense and overseas operations depending on variant and unit. In 1/72 scale, the aircraft’s large fuselage sides make code letters and serial presentation a defining feature, especially on the darker camouflage schemes often associated with Beaufighter subjects.

For modelers, this set is labeled as universal and can be applied to any compatible 1/72 Beaufighter kit, provided your kit represents the correct variant details (Mk.IF / Mk.IIF / Mk.V / Mk.VIF) for the chosen option. Because several subjects use multi-part code lettering and precise serial placement, this set is generally best suited to experienced builders.
