Print Scale 144-024 Decal Avro Vulcan Part 2 Scale 1:144 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 144-024 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1:144 scale models of the Avro Vulcan and cover Part 2 of a Cold War-era marking selection. The sheet includes aircraft serials, fin flashes, national insignia, and compact servicing markings suitable for Vulcan camouflage schemes of the late 1960s through the 1980s.

This set focuses on Royal Air Force subjects from operational and training contexts, including aircraft associated with RAF Scampton and RAF Waddington, plus one option tied to a 1971 deployment/exercise reference in the United States. The content is presented as marking data for scale modeling, with the emphasis on what is included on the sheet.

The Avro Vulcan was a delta-wing bomber type that remained in RAF service across multiple decades and appeared with visible variations in unit identifiers and period-specific insignia. In 1:144, the large roundels and clear fin markings are a strong match for a clean paint finish and careful decal alignment.

For modelers, this sheet is useful when you want to finish a Vulcan build with accurate-looking serials and standardized RAF national markings rather than relying on kit decals. Because the set combines large roundels with smaller stencil-style items, it is generally better suited to intermediate and advanced builds where surface preparation and placement planning are part of the workflow.

FAQ

How many Vulcan marking options are included in this set?

Print Scale 144-024 includes six marking options, numbered 1 through 6 in the instruction artwork.

Does the sheet include both bomber and tanker-related variants?

Yes. The options list includes Vulcan B.2 subjects and one Vulcan K.2 option (XL445) as provided in the set notes.

Are roundels and fin flashes included?

The decal sheet includes RAF-style national insignia and fin marking elements intended to match the included aircraft options.

Will these decals work with any 1:144 Avro Vulcan kit?

The set is listed as universal for compatible 1:144 Avro Vulcan kits. As small differences exist between kit tooling, it helps to compare placement against panel lines and adjust during application.

Any tips for applying the larger insignia in 1:144?

A smooth gloss coat and careful positioning reduce the risk of silvering. For larger roundels, gentle setting solutions can help the decal conform to surface detail once the placement is correct.
