Print Scale 48-185 Decal UH-1 Air Ambulance in Vietnam War Part 1 Scale 1:48 for Helicopter Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-185 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1/48 scale (also written as 1:48) helicopter models of the Bell UH-1H “Huey” configured as U.S. Army air ambulance aircraft during the Vietnam War period. The sheet includes red cross medical markings, aircraft identifiers, and a technical stencil set to support a realistic in-service finish.

UH-1H helicopters were widely used in medical evacuation and support roles, and their markings typically combined high-visibility medical symbols with standard U.S. Army titles, serials, and airframe servicing data. This decal set focuses on those recognizable elements while keeping the presentation strictly descriptive and model-oriented.

For modelers, the set is useful when you want consistent typography for “UNITED STATES ARMY” titles, serial numbers, and small servicing stencils alongside unit-specific nose art and medical crosses. Apply the large titles and crosses first, then add serials and finally the smaller stencils to maintain alignment and reduce handling.
