Looking for something a bit different for your Tamiya 1/48 scale Beaufighter TF.Mk.X? Xtradecal has released a new decal set for this kit.

This is good timing with Eduard also releasing a suite of photo-etched upgrade sets for the Tamiya Beau too.

 

Xtradecal offers four varied schemes for the Torp-fighter. Details are as follows:

  • RD427 EO_O 406(RCAF) RAF Dallachy 1945; finished in Extra Dark Sea Grey upper surfaces and Sky beow with large attractive black code letters.

  • RD816 OB-O 45 Sqn RAF Tengah, Singapore, Operation Firedog; finished in Dark Sea Grey and Dark Green over PRU lower surfaces (small black codes)

  • LZ293 MB-T 236 Sqn Coastal Command RAF North Coates 1944; finished in Extra Dark Sea Grey upper surfaces and Sky beow with red code letters.

  • BD515/Q 22 Sqn Burma 1944; finished in Dark Green and Dark Earth over Medium Sea Grey.

Instructions for the decal sheet are in full colour across one folded double-sided A4 and one double-sided A5 sheets. Both side plus upper and lower views are provided for all four aircraft.

 

 

Three full sets of national markings plus alternative upper wing markings for one of the options are included.

Colour notes are offered, along with model paint callouts for Xtracolor enamels and Xtracrylix acrylics.

The decals are beautifully printed and feature thin carrier film.

 

 

This release boasts a nice variety of camouflage and markings for anyone with Tamiya's 1/48 scale Beaufighter TF.X in the stash.
