Print Scale 48-108 Decal 1:48 Grumman F9F Panther Part 1 The complete set 2 leaf (+technical stencils)

Print Scale 48-108 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1/48 scale aircraft models of the Grumman F9F Panther family. This “Part 1” release is supplied as a two-sheet set, combining main markings (codes, BuNos, national insignia, and unit identifiers) with a dedicated technical stencil sheet for a more complete airframe finish.

The F9F Panther was an early-generation US Navy jet fighter that appeared in both carrier-based and shore-based service markings during the early 1950s. The options in this set reflect typical period layouts with large NAVY/MARINES titles, tail codes, and carrier air group identifiers, presented in a neutral, reference-oriented format.

For modelers, this set supports a clean 1/48 Panther build with correctly scaled large titles and a stencil layout that can be applied in stages. The biggest items (fuselage titles, tail codes, and wing stars-and-bars) benefit from careful alignment over panel lines and access hatches. Scale: 1/48 (also written as 1:48).

FAQ

How many aircraft marking options are included in Print Scale 48-108?

The instruction guide shows three separate Panther subjects (options 1–3), and the decals are organized to match those three aircraft.

Does this set include technical stencils?

Yes. Print Scale 48-108 is supplied as a two-sheet set that includes a dedicated technical stencils sheet in addition to the main markings.

Which Panther variants are represented?

The options are presented for F9F-2 and F9F-5 aircraft, with US Navy VF-111 and VF-112 subjects and one USMC VMF-311 subject.

Will these decals fit any 1/48 F9F Panther kit?

The set is listed as universal for 1/48 Panther kits. Because panel layouts can vary between manufacturers, test-fitting the large NAVY/MARINES titles and tail codes before final application is recommended.

What is a practical order for applying the markings?

Many modelers apply the largest items first (titles, tail codes, stars-and-bars), then add smaller identifiers and finally the stencil data. Working in stages can help maintain alignment and reduce handling of newly applied decals.
