Print Scale 48-156 Decal 1:48 VVS USSR Faded National Insignia 1935-1945 - 2 sheets

Print Scale 48-156 Waterslide Decals provide a selection of VVS USSR national insignia in a 1/48 scale (also written as 1:48) format, presented with a weathered / faded appearance suitable for 1935–1945 subjects. This set is intended for aircraft model projects where insignia need to look aged, field-worn, or partially faded rather than freshly applied.

During the pre-war and WWII period, Soviet red star markings appeared in different sizes and with varied visual finish depending on paint condition, repainting, and operational wear. This decal set focuses on that “used” look and can be applied across many Soviet aircraft types when you want a more subdued insignia effect.

For modelers, this sheet works as a flexible “insignia library” rather than a single aircraft-specific scheme. Choose the star size and style that best fits your kit and references, then integrate the markings with your weathering approach so the finish remains consistent across the model.

FAQ

Does Print Scale 48-156 include aircraft-specific marking options?

No. This is a generic insignia set (two sheets) with multiple red star sizes and faded styles, intended to be selected and applied according to the aircraft and period you are modeling.

Which time period is this insignia style intended to support?

The set is labeled for VVS USSR national insignia used across the 1935–1945 period, with the artwork presented in a weathered / faded appearance.

Can these decals be used on different Soviet aircraft types?

Yes. The sheet is meant to be used across many Soviet aircraft projects in 1/48 scale, as long as the star size and placement match your references and the available space on the model.

Are these decals suitable for a heavily weathered finish?

They can be a good match for weathered builds because the insignia are presented with a faded look. Many modelers apply them over a smooth gloss coat, then seal and blend them with light weathering so the markings and paint finish read consistently.

Does this set include maintenance stencils?

No. Print Scale 48-156 focuses on national insignia only. If you need airframe stencils for a specific aircraft type, use a dedicated stencil sheet or your kit decals.
