Print Scale 48-086 Decal De Havilland Mosquito Part-2 Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-086 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1/48 scale aircraft models of the de Havilland Mosquito (Part 2). This sheet provides aircraft codes, serials, roundels, fin flashes, and individual markings to reproduce several Mosquito night fighter and fighter-bomber subjects from the WWII period.

The Mosquito served in multiple roles and was produced in numerous sub-variants, including night fighter versions with radar-equipped noses and fighter-bomber variants used for strike and intruder tasks. The options in this set focus on RAF and Commonwealth-operated aircraft with clearly defined code styles and serial presentations.

For modelers, this decal sheet supports a clean, correctly proportioned code-and-roundel finish in 1/48, with large characters designed to sit across panel lines and access hatches. Test-fitting the main code groups before soaking is recommended, especially on fuselage sides and tail areas where curvature can affect alignment. Scale: 1/48 (also written as 1:48).

FAQ

How many marking options are included in Print Scale 48-086?

The instruction guide shows five separate Mosquito subjects (options 1–5), and the decal sheet is organized to match those five aircraft.

Which Mosquito variants does this Part 2 sheet cover?

The options are presented for Mosquito NF XIII, NF XVII, and FB VI aircraft, as listed in the included marking options.

Does the set include both codes/serials and national insignia?

Yes. The sheet includes large code letters, serials, and national markings (roundels and fin flashes) sized for 1/48 builds.

Are full airframe stencils included?

This sheet focuses on the main identity markings for the five subjects. If your build requires extensive maintenance stencil data, you can typically use the kit decals or a dedicated stencil set alongside these markings.

Any application tips for the large fuselage code groups?

Apply over a glossy surface, align using panel lines as reference points, and work in sections if needed. Allow each large marking to settle fully before adding nearby items to reduce the risk of shifting.
