Print Scale 32-012 Decal 1:32 P-38 Lightning Part 1 The complete set 2 leaf (+Technical stencils)

Print Scale 32-012 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:32 scale models of the Lockheed P-38 Lightning. This WWII-themed set is supplied on two decal sheets and includes both main markings (nose art, codes, serials, and insignia elements) and a dedicated selection of technical stencils for a more complete airframe finish.

The Lockheed P-38 is recognized for its twin-boom layout and long-range fighter role within USAAF service during World War II. For modelers, it offers large surface areas where unit identifiers, personal artwork, and consistent stenciling patterns become a focal point—especially in 1:32 scale.

This decal set supports four specific aircraft presentations identified by serial and unit information. It is intended for any compatible 1:32 scale P-38 Lightning plastic model kit. Due to fine stencil text and layered markings, careful planning of painting stages and decal placement is recommended.
