Print Scale 48-058 Decal Fairey Firefly Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-058 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:48 scale aircraft models of the Fairey Firefly. The set provides researched markings for three different Firefly subjects spanning late WWII service and post-war Fleet Air Arm / Royal Australian Navy use.

This decal sheet supports builds focused on carrier-based Fleet Air Arm aircraft and later operational and training-era finishes. Markings include codes, serials, roundels, and selected airframe-specific emblems as shown in the included profiles.

The Fairey Firefly was a British carrier aircraft used in multiple roles and produced in several variants, including fighter and reconnaissance configurations. Its combination of large airframe markings and characteristic code layouts makes it a recognizable subject for 1:48 scale naval aviation projects.

For modelers, this set is intended to help reproduce accurate code styles and placement on the Firefly’s fuselage and wings. The decals are suitable for any 1:48 scale Fairey Firefly plastic model kit with matching variant details, and are best approached with careful alignment due to the multi-surface roundels and large codes typical of Fleet Air Arm subjects.
