Print Scale 144-004 Decal Junkers JU-52 Scale 1:144 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 144-004 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:144 scale models of the Junkers Ju 52/3m transport aircraft. The sheet combines civil and military marking subjects, letting you build a Ju 52 with period-specific registrations, codes, national insignia, and selected unit identifiers as shown in the included guide.

This set covers a range of Ju 52/3m appearances from the mid-1930s through the WWII-era years, including pre-war airline presentation markings and several wartime transport schemes from different theaters. The focus is on accurate model markings rather than narrative history.

The Ju 52/3m is a well-known tri-motor transport type with corrugated skin surfaces and prominent fuselage codes and crosses. In 1:144 scale, these features make markings alignment and symmetry important, especially around windows, corrugations, and control surfaces.

For modelers, this decal set is useful when you want multiple build options from one sheet, including contrasting schemes and code styles. It is intended for any compatible 1:144 Ju 52/3m plastic model kit. Due to the small scale and the number of individual markings, careful placement and surface preparation are recommended.
