Print Scale 48-144 Decal 1:48 Grumman F-14 Tomcat Part 2 The complete set 2 leaf

Print Scale 48-144 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1/48 scale models of the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, focusing on a single late-service F-14D subject from U.S. Navy carrier aviation. The set combines large tail graphics and airframe striping with national insignia, modex/ship identifiers, and a dedicated technical stencil selection.

The F-14D represents the final production standard of the Tomcat family, operated into the early 2000s with updated avionics and squadron-specific marking styles. This sheet depicts a VF-31 aircraft with the high-contrast tail presentation and contemporary airframe labeling typical of U.S. Navy fleet jets of that period.

Print Scale 48-144 is intended for 1/48 scale (also written as 1:48) builds and is listed as universal where your kit matches an F-14D configuration and tail/fin geometry. Because the markings include large tail panels, long stripes, and numerous small stencils, it is best suited to modelers comfortable with careful alignment and multi-stage sealing.
