Print Scale 48-155 Decal 1:48 Vietnam War. US Faded Insignia The complete set 2 leaf

Print Scale 48-155 Waterslide Decals are a two-sheet set for 1/48 scale U.S. aircraft modeling projects, featuring Vietnam War–era style faded national insignia and service titles. The artwork is intended to represent a weathered, sun-bleached appearance commonly seen on operational aircraft finishes from the period.

The set is organized around two popular U.S. types associated with this marking style: one sheet is labeled for the General Dynamics F-111A Aardvark, and the second sheet is labeled for the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II. Both sheets focus on insignia sizes and service lettering rather than individual squadron identities.

For modelers, this set is useful when you want a consistent “faded” look across national markings and large titles without mixing decals from multiple sources. It can be applied to many compatible U.S. aircraft builds in the same scale, provided the insignia dimensions match your kit’s placement guides. Scale: 1/48 (also written as 1:48).

FAQ

What does “faded insignia” mean in this decal set?

It refers to national insignia and titles printed with a weathered, worn-looking finish, intended to match aircraft that show sun exposure and operational wear.

Does Print Scale 48-155 include specific squadrons or serial-numbered aircraft?

No. The two sheets focus on generic U.S. national insignia and large service titles rather than unit-specific markings or individual aircraft identities.

Which aircraft are these decals primarily intended for?

The sheets are labeled for the F-111A Aardvark and the F-4 Phantom II, but the insignia can also be used on other 1/48 U.S. aircraft if the sizes match your model’s marking layout.

Are large service titles included (e.g, “U.S. AIR FORCE”, “NAVY”, “MARINES”)?

Yes. The set includes multiple service title styles and sizes alongside the faded national insignia.

Any tips for applying “weathered-look” insignia?

Because the printed effect is intentionally uneven, careful surface preparation (gloss coat) and controlled setting-solution use help the markings sit cleanly without distorting the distressed pattern.
