Print Scale 48-132 Decal P-51 Mustang V1 Flying Bomb Top Pilots Part 1 Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-132 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1/48 scale aircraft models of the Mustang Mk.III (P-51 Mustang) in Royal Air Force service. This Part 1 set provides four aircraft-specific code combinations with matching serials, RAF-style national insignia, fin flashes, and a dedicated selection of technical stencils for the airframe and external tanks.

The Mustang Mk.III was widely used by RAF units during the later WWII period, and its markings often combined squadron code letters with individual aircraft letters and serial presentations. The subjects in this sheet focus on mid-1944 to early-1945 RAF Mustangs associated with units operating from southern England, including Polish RAF squadrons.

For modelers, the large fuselage codes are the key visual feature and should be aligned around the roundels and invasion-style banding shown in the instruction profiles. The stencil set supports a more complete finish, including details for drop tanks; applying major markings first and stencils afterward helps keep spacing consistent. Scale: 1/48 (also written as 1:48).

FAQ

How many marking options are included in Print Scale 48-132?

The instruction sheet shows four Mustang Mk.III subjects (options 1–4), and the decals are arranged to match those four aircraft.

Is this set for the RAF Mustang Mk.III or a USAAF P-51?

The options are presented as RAF Mustang Mk.III subjects using RAF squadron codes, serials, and national markings. It can also be used on a 1/48 P-51B/C kit configured as a Mustang Mk.III.

Are technical stencils included?

Yes. The set includes a stencil selection with placement shown in the diagrams, including items related to external tanks.

Will these decals fit any 1/48 Mustang Mk.III kit?

The set is listed as universal. Because code letter spacing and panel lines vary slightly between kit manufacturers, it helps to dry-position the fuselage codes and roundels before final application.

What’s a practical order for applying the decals?

Many modelers place the roundels and fin flashes first, then align the fuselage code letters and serials, and apply stencils last. This approach helps keep the side layout balanced and reduces re-positioning of small items.
