Print Scale 32-022 Decal Grumman TBF Avenger The complete set 2 leaf Scale 1:32 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 32-022 waterslide decals are designed for 1:32 scale aircraft models of the Grumman TBF/TBM Avenger family. The set provides large national insignia, codes, and aircraft-specific markings intended for naval aviation subjects from the mid-1940s through the early Cold War period.

This release combines US Navy and Royal Canadian Navy Avenger themes and is suitable for modelers building carrier-based and shore-based Avenger aircraft in overall dark sea blue finishes and related schemes used during the era.

The Avenger was a carrier-capable torpedo bomber and patrol aircraft that remained in service well after World War II in updated forms. Because markings can differ by unit, carrier air group, and later postwar operators, having multiple documented options in one set can simplify planning for a historically grounded build.

For modelers, this sheet can be used as a full replacement for kit decals or as a source of large insignia and codes for custom projects. Placement of oversized national markings and multi-part codes benefits from careful alignment, so the set is generally better suited to experienced builders.
