Print Scale 48-204 Decal UH-1 in Viet Nam War Part 1 Scale 1:48 for Helicopter Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-204 waterslide decals are intended for 1/48 scale helicopter model kits of the Bell UH-1 “Huey” family. This Part 1 set focuses on US Army UH-1 aircraft from the Vietnam War era and provides three documented marking options along with a comprehensive technical stencil selection.

The UH-1 is a classic rotary-wing subject with prominent cabin doors, tail boom surfaces, and high-visibility service titles that are especially noticeable in 1/48 scale. The markings in this set are suitable for Olive Drab helicopters and include serials, unit identifiers, and distinctive geometric recognition markings used on airframes in service during the late 1960s and 1970.

For modelers, the sheet supports accurate “as-assigned” finishes by combining the main identification markings with stencils that help fill out the airframe. Because helicopter stenciling involves many small items and careful placement around panels and access points, this set is generally best suited to intermediate and advanced builders.
