Print Scale 144-020 Decal 1:144 Messerschmitt Me-Bf 109 F for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 144-020 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:144 scale aircraft models of the Messerschmitt Bf 109 F-4 (including tropicalized F-4 variants). The sheet provides a selection of WWII-era German WWII Air Force and Axis/partner-operated marking subjects, suitable for small-scale fighter projects.

This set focuses on Bf 109F-series aircraft used across multiple theaters, including North Africa and the Eastern Front, as well as examples associated with operations from France and Libya. The included markings allow a modeler to depict different unit styles, tactical numbers, and common national insignia typical for the period.

The Bf 109 F-4 represents a mid-war development of the type, widely modeled due to its recognizable airframe lines and varied camouflage approaches. In 1:144 scale, these markings help create a compact display piece while still keeping unit identity and key airframe details visible.

For modelers: the decal layout supports clean application on a small airframe and includes both primary markings and technical stencil-style elements shown in the instruction artwork. The set is intended for any compatible 1:144 Bf 109F kit; experience with fine decal placement is helpful due to the scale and the amount of small-format items.
