Print Scale 32-017 Decal 1:32 American F-86E Sabre Part 1 The complete set 2.5 leaf

Print Scale 32-017 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:32 scale models of the North American F-86E Sabre and presented as American F-86 Sabre Part 1. This set combines one documented aircraft option with a broad selection of USAF-style markings, striping elements, and extensive technical stenciling intended for a detailed large-scale finish.

The sheet set includes large fuselage codes, “USAF” lettering, national insignia, and multiple stripe shapes for wing and fuselage areas. These components are useful when building an early-jet Sabre with a clean, period-correct appearance while keeping markings consistent across the model’s panels and control surfaces.

The F-86 Sabre is a classic early jet fighter with simple, highly visible marking layouts that work especially well in 1:32 scale. Its combination of smooth surfaces and prominent national markings makes it a practical subject for builders who want crisp graphics and readable stencils without overloading the airframe with small unit badges.

For modelers, this set is most valuable if you want a single named aircraft option supported by a complete stencil suite and the larger “USAF” and stripe elements that define the overall look. Because many items are long and alignment-sensitive, a careful dry-fit and a gloss surface are recommended. The decals are listed as universal and can be used with any compatible 1:32 F-86 Sabre kit that matches the F-86E layout.

FAQ

How many aircraft options are included in Print Scale 32-017?

This set includes one documented F-86E Sabre marking option, supported by additional general USAF markings and stencils.

Does the set include technical stencils and airframe data?

Yes. The sheet provides a large selection of technical stencils alongside the main codes and insignia, intended for full-surface detailing in 1:32 scale.

Are the large “USAF” letters and stripe elements included as decals?

Yes. The set includes large “USAF” lettering and multiple stripe shapes designed for wing and fuselage areas, allowing a consistent painted-and-marked appearance without masking those elements by hand.

Which kits are compatible with these decals?

The decals are listed as universal for 1:32 F-86 Sabre kits. Best results come from choosing an F-86E-compatible kit and checking placement against the kit’s panel layout before application.

Any tips for applying long stripes and large codes?

Applying decals over a glossy surface helps reduce silvering. For long stripe segments, aligning one reference point first and then working gradually along the length can improve accuracy; setting solutions are optional depending on surface detail.
