Print Scale 48-120 Decal 1:48 Top Pilots of Legion Condor Part 3 Messerschmitt Bf-109D

Print Scale 48-120 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1/48 scale aircraft models and cover late-1930s marking subjects associated with the Legion Condor period in Spain. This Part 3 set includes five individual aircraft options for Messerschmitt Bf 109 and Heinkel He 112, with large tactical numbers, period-style national insignia, and supporting airframe details.

The aircraft types represented here are early variants from the pre-WWII era, illustrated with documented unit identifiers and location/timeframe notes. The focus is on accurate placement and a catalog-style presentation suitable for scale modeling reference.

For modelers, the sheet combines large markings with smaller details and a dedicated stencil layout. It is listed as universal and can be applied to any 1/48 scale Bf 109 / He 112 plastic model kit (scale is also written as 1:48). Careful alignment is recommended due to multi-part numbers and wing/fuselage crosses.
