Print Scale 48-090 Decal MiG-19s and MiG-21s of the Arab Air Force Part 1 Scale 1:48

Print Scale 48-090 Waterslide Decals are designed for MiG-19 and MiG-21 aircraft models in 1/48 scale (also written as 1:48). This “Part 1” sheet covers national insignia, aircraft numbers, and unit-style identifiers for several Arab air force subjects from the mid-1960s.

The MiG-19 and early MiG-21 variants served with multiple regional operators during the Cold War, often with prominent roundels, fin flags, and bold numeric markings. This set groups several documented aircraft and provides the key external identifiers needed to reproduce those schemes in a neutral, reference-driven way.

For modelers, the sheet is useful when your build needs accurate-looking national markings and number styles that are hard to mask or paint cleanly at 1/48. The options cover both MiG-19 and MiG-21 families; plan placement around panel lines and access hatches, and apply larger elements in stages to keep alignment consistent.

FAQ

How many aircraft marking options are included in this set?

Print Scale 48-090 includes six aircraft marking options, listed in the “Included aircraft marking options” section above.

Which aircraft types does this sheet cover?

The set is intended for MiG-19 and MiG-21 builds, including MiG-19S/J-6 and MiG-21F-13/FL variants.

Does this set include a full technical stencil suite?

This product is primarily focused on national insignia and aircraft identification markings. Use your kit decals or an additional stencil sheet if you want comprehensive maintenance stenciling.

Can I use these decals with any brand of 1/48 kit?

Yes, provided your kit represents the correct MiG-19 or MiG-21 variant and you confirm placement against the included guide. Minor spacing adjustments may be helpful depending on the kit’s panel layout.

What’s the best approach for applying the larger stripes and roundels?

Apply decals over a smooth gloss finish, place large elements first, and seal them before moving on to smaller numbers. This helps keep alignment stable and reduces the chance of silvering.
