Print Scale 48-041 Decal Panavia Tornado Part 2 The complete set 2 leaf Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-041 Waterslide Decals are made for Panavia Tornado aircraft models in 1/48 scale (also written as 1:48). This is a two-sheet set covering serials, squadron codes, nose art titles, national insignia, and a full selection of airframe stencils for modern-era Tornado builds.

The Panavia Tornado served with several air arms in strike and reconnaissance roles, and its unit markings often combined large tail codes with mission-era nose art and extensive maintenance stenciling. This decal set concentrates on RAF Tornado GR4/GR4A aircraft associated with the 2003 Operation TELIC period, plus one Royal Saudi Air Force Tornado IDS option from an early-1990s operational timeframe.

For modelers, the value of this set is the combination of distinctive aircraft-specific artwork and comprehensive stencils in one package. Many elements are small and numerous, so careful planning and incremental application are recommended—especially around pylons, access panels, and fin areas where stencil density is high.

FAQ

How many aircraft marking options are included?

This set includes ten aircraft marking options, listed in the “Included aircraft marking options” section above.

Does the set include full stencil data?

Yes. Alongside aircraft-specific codes and artwork, the sheets include extensive technical stencils and walkway/maintenance markings for a detailed finish.

Can I use this set on both GR4 and GR4A kits?

The marking options cover Tornado GR4 and GR4A airframes. Choose the option that matches your kit’s variant details and configure antennas/sensors according to your chosen subject.

Is the Royal Saudi Air Force option included on the same sheets?

Yes. The set includes RSAF national markings, titles, and serial-style elements for a Tornado IDS subject, alongside the RAF options.

Any tips for applying the larger codes and artwork?

For multi-part codes and larger art elements, many modelers apply a glossy clear coat first, place markings in stages, and then seal them after alignment to reduce the risk of silvering.
