Print Scale 48-150 Decal Silver F-105D Thunderchiefs in VietNam Part 1 Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-150 waterslide decals are designed for 1/48 scale aircraft models of the Republic F-105D Thunderchief. This sheet focuses on “Silver” USAF Thunderchiefs connected with Thailand-based deployments during the Vietnam War era, providing aircraft-specific codes, serials, national insignia, and supporting details for a clean natural-metal style finish.

This set (Part 1) includes distinct tail and fuselage identifiers plus a dedicated stencil package to help reproduce the characteristic placement of markings on the F-105D airframe.

The F-105D was a single-seat supersonic strike aircraft operated by the United States Air Force. For a model project, the combination of large airframe lettering, unit identifiers, and stenciling makes this subject well suited to builders aiming for an accurate, service-style presentation without adding narrative elements to the display.

For modelers, the decals are intended for use with 1/48 scale F-105D Thunderchief plastic model kits and can be applied using standard waterslide methods. Because the set includes multiple large markings and fine stencils, it is generally better suited to experienced builders who are comfortable aligning long stripes, codes, and multi-part insignia.
