Print Scale 48-050 Decal RF-101C Voodoo Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-050 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1/48 scale models of the McDonnell RF-101C Voodoo, focusing on aircraft from the 45th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron “Polka Dots” style. The set provides large tail codes, serials, nose art titles, national insignia, and support markings for a Vietnam War–era USAF reconnaissance subject. Scale: 1/48 (also written as 1:48).

The RF-101C was a tactical reconnaissance variant of the Voodoo family, recognizable by its clean lines and camera-equipped mission fit. This decal sheet concentrates on squadron-specific identifiers and decorative elements documented on late-1960s to 1970 aircraft, including multiple “AH” tail-code layouts and the distinctive dotted trim pieces shown in the guide.

For modelers, this set is useful when you want a complete external identity package: major codes, serials, and unit-style markings, plus small airframe notes and rescue markings for a consistent finish. Because several options involve large, high-visibility tail and trim elements, careful alignment is recommended. Apply over a gloss surface and work in sections (codes first, then insignia, then small stencils). The set is listed as universal and can be used with any 1/48 RF-101C plastic model kit, adjusting placement as needed for kit-specific panel lines.

FAQ

How many aircraft marking options are included in Print Scale 48-050?

The set provides eight numbered RF-101C marking options as shown in the placement guide.

Are the “Polka Dots” pattern elements included on the decal sheet?

Yes. The sheet includes dotted trim pieces shown in the guide, intended to reproduce the squadron-style decorative areas on the airframe.

Does this set include small servicing markings and rescue markings?

Yes. Alongside the main codes and nose art titles, the sheet includes multiple small airframe markings intended for standard external placement points.

Will these decals fit any 1/48 RF-101C kit?

The set is listed as universal. It can be used with any 1/48 RF-101C kit, but code spacing and stencil placement may need minor adjustment depending on the kit’s panel layout.

Apply the large codes in aligned segments over a gloss finish, confirm symmetry from both sides, then add the smaller markings afterward to avoid shifting the main identifiers.
