Print Scale 48-189 Decal UH-1 Air Ambulance in Vietnam War Part 2 Scale 1:48 for Helicopter Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-189 waterslide decals are made for 1/48 scale helicopter models of the Bell UH-1H Iroquois (Huey) configured as air ambulance aircraft during the Vietnam War period. This Part 2 set provides aircraft-specific identifiers and medical markings suitable for four documented US Army helicopters from different medical companies and locations.

The UH-1 family was widely used for utility and casualty evacuation tasks, and air ambulance schemes are characterized by prominent red cross panels, clear serial presentation, and readable service titles. This decal set focuses on those visible features while keeping the subject presentation strictly descriptive and model-oriented.

For modelers, the sheet supports a complete exterior finish with large-format markings and a dense technical stencil layout. It is compatible with 1/48 UH-1H plastic model kits listed as universal, though careful alignment is recommended on curved fuselage areas and around doors, windows, and panel lines.

FAQ

Does this set include technical stencils as well as unit markings?

Yes. In addition to the four aircraft options, the sheet provides a dense stencil set shown on the instruction diagram.

Are the red cross panels and “UNITED STATES ARMY” titles included?

Yes. The decal sheet contains the prominent medical panels and service titles used across the included marking options.

Will these decals work on any 1/48 UH-1H kit?

The set is labeled universal for 1/48 UH-1H models. Small placement adjustments may be needed depending on the kit’s door layout, panel lines, and surface detail.

Any application tips for the large medical markings?

Large panels usually apply best in stages: position the decal using reference edges first, then smooth it down gradually to avoid trapping air over rivets, raised detail, or window framing.
