Print Scale 48-061 Decal Bell OH-58 Kiowa Helicopter Part 2 Scale 1:48 for Helicopter Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-061 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1/48 scale helicopter model projects featuring the Bell OH-58 Kiowa and closely related Bell 206 / OH-58 family operators (Part 2). The sheet includes national insignia, unit-style emblems, aircraft numbers, and a large set of technical stencils for modern-era rotary-wing finishes.

This set is useful when you want consistent typography for codes and serials, plus small safety and servicing markings that can be difficult to reproduce by hand. Scale: 1/48 (also written as 1:48).

The OH-58 series served in observation and utility roles across multiple services and countries, and the marking options in this set reflect a broad mix of operators and timeframes. The selection includes both high-visibility identifiers and subdued, low-contrast markings that suit different paint schemes.

For modelers, the sheet combines large artwork (roundels, flags, unit insignia) with extensive stencil data. Because helicopter markings often cross panel lines and access doors, test-fitting key decals against your kit’s surface detail can help with clean alignment before final setting.

FAQ

Is this decal set only for the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior?

No. The marking options include OH-58D and OH-58A subjects, plus related Bell 206 / CH-136 family operator schemes listed in the placement guides.

How many marking options are included in Print Scale 48-061?

The included placement guides present ten numbered helicopter subjects, and this set is arranged around those ten options.

Does the sheet include technical stenciling?

Yes. Alongside national markings and unit insignia, the sheet includes a large group of stencil-style items intended for a more complete 1/48 finish.

Will these decals fit any 1/48 Kiowa kit?

The set is marked as universal for 1/48 scale. As panel lines and doors can vary by kit tooling, it helps to compare the placement diagrams to your specific model before final application.
