About product

Aviaeology AOD48002M2 - RCAF Beaufighter TF.X, 404 Squadron, late 1943 to late 1944, 1:48

A decal sheet from the Canadian brand Aviaeology in 1:48 scale with the markings of particular machines. It is not a kit, but waterslide decals for a model you buy separately. The sheet covers Canadian Beaufighters from the period between late 1943 and late 1944, and it is on that period that the difference from the later sheets for the same squadron rests: those are about machines from the last months of the war. For this series the manufacturer also issued an extended and supplemented version, which holds technical stencils as well as national insignia and codes. Check the particular list of machines on the box.

The real subject

404 Squadron RCAF, nicknamed Buffalo, operated twin-engine Bristol Beaufighters in RAF Coastal Command. The TF.X version was the anti-shipping and torpedo one: with Bristol Hercules engines, radar, cannon, machine guns and later anti-shipping rockets as well, it attacked German shipping off the Norwegian and Dutch coasts. For the squadron 1944 was a period of patrol and strike sorties over the North Sea, still ahead of the actions that made it famous at the beginning of 1945.

Application tips

Gloss varnish under the decal is essential with large roundels and codes. Cut the motifs out one at a time; a few seconds in warm water is enough, then slide the decal off the paper into place and press the water out from the center toward the edges. A softener will seat the decal into the engraved lines, but dilute the stronger products. At the end give it a coat matching the sheen of the real machine.

Who the sheet is for

  • modelers of the Beaufighter TF.X in RCAF colors
  • anyone interested in the anti-shipping operations of Coastal Command
  • those who want a machine from 1943 and 1944 rather than from the last months of the war

This is an accessory for a model, not a kit. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
