Waterslide decals 1:72 Bristol Beaufighter Mk.X (ROP o.s.)

A set of quality waterslide decals in 1:72 scale for a plastic model of the twin-engine Bristol Beaufighter attack aircraft in the Mk.X version. It is a standalone decal set, not a model kit; it serves to finish and paint a Beaufighter in the matching period form. The decals are printed on a carrier film and are transferred by soaking in water.

The real subject

The Bristol Beaufighter was a British twin-engine heavy fighter and attack aircraft of the Second World War, powered by a pair of radial engines. The Mk.X version was among the late machines intended above all for Coastal Command and attacks on surface targets; it carried heavy gun armament and could be armed with rockets or a torpedo. The Beaufighter was known for its toughness, its long range and its striking power.

Use

• Cut the decal out close to the subject and soak it in clean lukewarm water.
• Move the decal off the backing onto the surface of the model and adjust its position.
• Apply it onto gloss varnish, ideally with a decal softening product.
• Once it has dried, go over it with matte or semi-gloss varnish.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building the Beaufighter Mk.X in 1:72 scale.
• Anyone interested in British coastal and strike aviation.
• Modelers who want original period markings.

This is a decal set. The aircraft model, the paints and the varnish are not included in the package.
