Print Scale 48-045 Decal McDonnel Douglas F-4 Phantom II in Viet Nam Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-045 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1:48 scale aircraft models from the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II family. This set focuses on USAF Phantom markings associated with the Vietnam War era, including subjects finished in standard Southeast Asia camouflage.

The sheet supports several Phantom variants used in the same operational period, including fighter and reconnaissance versions. Markings cover unit identifiers, serials, national insignia, and distinctive decorative elements shown on the included placement guide.

The F-4 Phantom II was a twin-engine supersonic aircraft used in multiple roles, from air defense and strike missions to tactical reconnaissance. Its broad service history and frequent unit-level variations make it a practical subject for multi-option decal sets.

For modelers, this set offers a way to build multiple historically documented airframes from one aircraft family without changing scale or era. It is marked as universal and can be used with 1:48 F-4 Phantom II kits that match the chosen variant (F-4C/D/E or RF-4C). Due to the amount of small markings and multi-color nose art, it is best suited to experienced builders.
