Decals for Sgt. George Beurling
Posted by davenport49 on Friday, July 23, 2021 3:20 PM

I'm working on a 1/48th Spitfire Mk Vc representing RAF Squadron 249 BR323/S flown in Malta.  I'm in desperate need of suitable decals.  Can someone please point me to a source?

Beurling flew nine different serialed Spitfires (both VB and VC) while stationed at Malta.  A few of these can be found in aftermarket decal sets.  

BR323 was an option in the Special Hobby kit SH48051.  Only other choice I can find is buying separate decal sheets, one for the white fuselage code, and the other a generic sheet of 8 inch black serial codes.

Hannants in the UK should provide some choices in their RAF decal sheets, but if you want to try spray masks, Maketar has some options for code letters in a variety of heights.

 

regards,

Jack

You can combine items off this Print Scale decal sheet to make BR323/S

Nice one stik, without a doubt the cheapest option. Yes
