Print Scale 48-149 waterslide decals are made for 1/48 scale aircraft models of the Nakajima Ki-44 Shoki (Tojo). The sheet provides a selection of historically documented markings for Ki-44 fighters used in East Asia and Southeast Asia during the WWII period, with options covering multiple units and timeframes.

This set focuses on airframes recorded with unit identifiers, tail codes, and national markings suitable for specific service contexts.

For modelers, this decal set supports accurate aircraft-specific finishes without the need to mask complex unit symbols. It is intended for use with 1/48 Nakajima Ki-44 plastic model kits and is best suited to builders comfortable with multi-part markings placement and careful alignment over panel lines and curves.
