Print Scale 144-022 Decal F-51 Mustang Scale 1:144 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 144-022 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1:144 scale aircraft model kits of the F-51 Mustang (P-51D family). The sheet combines USAF subjects with allied and partner operators active in-theater, providing multiple code styles, nose markings, and national insignia in small scale.

The F-51 designation was used for Mustang aircraft in post-WWII service, and the type remained in operational use during the early 1950s. This set focuses on unit and base-specific identifiers such as tail codes, serials, and national markings suitable for natural metal finishes commonly depicted for this aircraft family.

For modelers, the variety of serials, codes, and theater-specific roundels makes this sheet useful for building more than one Mustang from the same kit type. Because many items are small in 1:144, a gloss surface and careful alignment help when placing codes and stencils.
