Print Scale 48-014 Decal 1:48 Marking and technical inscriptions WWII-era German Air Force external stores. Die Markierung der Flugbomben. WWII-era German Air Force 1930-1940

Print Scale 48-014 waterslide decals are designed for 1/48 scale aircraft modeling projects that include German aerial external stores loads. The sheet focuses on markings and technical inscriptions used on WWII-era German Air Force external stores bodies, including stencil-style text, symbols, and stripe layouts intended for a clean, “painted-on” look after sealing.

This set is aimed at ordnance detailing for pre-war and early WWII-era aircraft builds, where external stores and external stores racks are a visible part of the finished model. It can be used on standalone external stores accessories, kit-provided scale accessories, or diorama loads where readable stenciling improves realism.

For modelers, the decals are most effective on smooth, gloss-prepared external stores surfaces and are suited to curved bodies where masks and hand-painting are difficult. Because the sheet covers multiple external stores families and variant stencils, it is generally better suited to experienced builders who want consistent, repeatable markings across a full external stores set.

FAQ

Is this decal sheet intended for aircraft markings or for external stores?

This set is intended for external stores: external stores body markings, stripes, symbols, and technical-style inscriptions used on WWII-era German Air Force external stores loads.

Do I need a specific external stores accessory set to use these decals?

No. The decals can be applied to any 1/48 external stores with matching sizes and shapes, including kit parts and aftermarket ordnance sets.

How should I prepare external stores surfaces before applying the decals?

A smooth gloss coat helps reduce silvering on curved external stores bodies. After placement and drying, a clear coat can be used to unify the finish.

Does the sheet cover multiple external stores types and variants?

Yes. The set includes markings for SC, SD, and SBe series external stores, including listed grades and type variants, allowing consistent stenciling across mixed loads.
