Print Scale 72-416 Decal Bristol Beaufighter Mk.X Part 1 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-416 waterslide decals are designed for 1/72 scale aircraft models of the Bristol Beaufighter Mk X, including the TF.Mk.X variant (Part 1). This sheet provides aircraft-specific codes and serial references for RAF and RCAF subjects, suitable for Coastal Command and Commonwealth Beaufighter projects.

The Beaufighter Mk X family was used in long-range strike and maritime roles, with marking styles that can differ by squadron and theater. The options in this set cover mid-WWII Coastal Command-era aircraft as well as a later post-war RAF subject, allowing modelers to choose between operational-period finishes and a later service appearance.

For modelers, this set is listed as universal and can be applied to any compatible 1/72 Beaufighter Mk X plastic model kit. Because twin-engine aircraft codes, serials, and fin markings often require careful alignment and symmetry across both sides of the airframe, this sheet is generally recommended for advanced builders.

FAQ

Are all marking options from World War II?

No. Three options are linked to mid-1944 Coastal Command or Commonwealth service, while one option is dated November 1949 in Malaya, representing post-war RAF use.

Can I use this set with any 1/72 Beaufighter kit?

Yes. The sheet is listed as universal. Choose an option that matches your kit’s Mk X or TF.Mk.X configuration and details such as radar or stores if applicable.

What is the difference between Mk X and TF.Mk.X in this context?

TF.Mk.X refers to the “torpedo fighter” role variant within the Mk X family. For modeling, it can imply specific equipment fits, so matching the kit configuration to the chosen option is recommended.

Any tips for placing large codes evenly on both sides?

Many modelers apply decals over a gloss coat, measure placement points from panel lines or access hatches, and then seal the decals with a clear coat once fully dry to keep the finish consistent.
