Print Scale 144-015 Decal Messerschmitt Bf-109 D Scale 1:144 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 144-015 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1:144 scale aircraft models of the Messerschmitt Bf 109D. The sheet combines aircraft-specific codes, emblems, and national markings with a compact set of technical stencils, supporting detailed finishes on early Bf 109 subjects in small scale.

This set includes 15 distinct marking options covering late-1930s and early-war-era Bf 109D airframes, including aircraft documented in Spain during 1938, German WWII Air Force unit machines from 1938–1939, an option associated with operations in Poland in 1939, and a later flight school subject dated 1942. Camouflage notes are provided as RLM references for each option.

The Bf 109D represents an early production stage of the Bf 109 family, featuring characteristic pre-war marking styles and unit code formats that differ from later variants. For modelers, this creates a useful range of looks—from high-contrast code combinations to more subdued late-1930s schemes—while staying within a single airframe type.

Because 1:144 markings and stenciling require careful alignment and clean surface preparation, this decal set is a good fit for experienced builders working with fine details. The sheet is listed as universal and can be applied to any compatible 1:144 Bf 109 kit, provided the chosen kit matches the Bf 109D layout.
