Print Scale 48-079 Decal Morane-Saulnier MS. 406 Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-079 Waterslide Decals are made for Morane-Saulnier MS.406 aircraft models in 1/48 scale (also written as 1:48). This sheet provides aircraft numbers, national insignia, and unit-style emblems to finish MS.406 subjects from the early WWII period and later wartime service.

The MS.406 was a French single-seat fighter that appeared in several national contexts during 1939–1943, which led to noticeable differences in markings and tail identification. This set gathers several documented MS.406C-family subjects, allowing a modeler to represent varied schemes while keeping the presentation factual and historically neutral.

For modelers, the sheet is useful for projects where the look depends on large roundels, bold codes, and distinctive badge-style artwork. Because the set includes multiple national insignia styles and prominent fuselage numbers, careful alignment and a glossy surface are recommended to keep larger elements clean and centered.

FAQ

How many marking options are included in Print Scale 48-079?

This set includes four aircraft marking options, listed in the “Included aircraft marking options” section above.

Which services or national contexts are represented?

The options cover French Air Force units, a Polish unit operating in France, and Finnish Air Force (Ilmavoimat) service.

Does the sheet include both insignia and aircraft codes?

Yes. The set provides national insignia elements and aircraft-identification markings (such as numbers/letters) needed to complete the listed subjects.

What should I check before applying the larger markings?

Test-fit key elements against your kit’s panel lines and access hatches, then apply decals over a smooth glossy finish to reduce the risk of silvering on large roundels and codes.

The sheet may include historically used national insignia appropriate to the subjects and periods shown. If you have display or event restrictions in your region, review local rules before public exhibition or sale of finished models.
