Print Scale 32-010 Decal 1:32 P-38 Lightning Part 2 The complete set 2 leaf (+Technical stencils)

Print Scale 32-010 waterslide decals are designed for 1:32 scale models of the Lockheed P-38 Lightning. This set focuses on individual aircraft markings (Part 2) and also includes a dedicated sheet with technical stencils and common external markings suitable for WWII-era P-38 builds.

The P-38 Lightning served as a long-range fighter and fighter-bomber in multiple theatres during World War II. Its twin-boom layout and prominent nose area made it a frequent canvas for squadron codes, serial presentation styles, and nose art, which remain popular subjects for large-scale aircraft projects.

For modelers, this set supports a detailed finish with large insignia elements, code groups, serials, and aircraft-specific artwork. The included stencil sheet adds the small servicing and airframe data that helps a 1:32 Lightning look complete. Due to the mix of large items and fine stenciling, the sheet is best suited to builders comfortable with careful alignment and multi-step decal application.
