Print Scale 48-044 Decal CH-47 Chinook Part 2 Scale 1:48 for Helicopter Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-044 Waterslide Decals (CH-47 Chinook Part 2) are made for 1/48 scale helicopter models of the Boeing CH-47 Chinook family. The set provides aircraft numbers, unit identifiers, and distinctive nose-art style elements, supported by a large group of technical stencils and multiple “UNITED STATES ARMY” titles intended for Chinook airframes.

The subjects in this sheet span several CH-47 variants and service contexts, including Vietnam-era CH-47A / ACH-47A options, a Cold War exercise-based CH-47C option, and CH-47D aircraft associated with later U.S. Army Aviation use. The content is presented as markings data for scale modeling and display projects.

The CH-47’s large fuselage sides and tail areas make it well suited to prominent serial-style numerals and unit artwork, while the airframe also benefits from extensive stencil work to keep the finished model visually consistent. This combination makes the set practical for builders who want both “headline” markings and the smaller details that complete a modern helicopter finish.

Print Scale lists this decal sheet as universal, so it can be used with most 1/48 CH-47 plastic model kits. Because the set includes many small placement-sensitive markings alongside larger items, it is generally better suited to experienced modelers.

How many marking options are included in this set?

This sheet includes six Chinook marking options, covering CH-47A, ACH-47A, CH-47C, and CH-47D subjects.

Does the set include only large artwork, or also technical stencils?

Along with nose art and aircraft numbers, the sheet provides a dense selection of technical stencils and multiple “UNITED STATES ARMY” titles for a more complete airframe finish.

Can these decals be used with any 1/48 CH-47 kit?

Print Scale lists the set as universal, so it is intended to work with most 1/48 CH-47 kits. As always, check placement against your kit’s panel lines and surface details during application.
