Print Scale 48-230 Decal UH-1 Huey in Vietnam War Part 2 Scale 1:48 for Helicopter Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-230 waterslide decals are designed for 1/48 scale (also written as 1:48) helicopter models of the Bell UH-1 “Huey” used by U.S. Army units during the Vietnam War period. The set provides three aircraft-specific options built around clear tail serials, unit identifiers, and the “UNITED STATES ARMY” airframe titles commonly seen on UH-1 airframes of the era.

The UH-1 family served as a widely used utility helicopter platform, and its external markings typically combined large service titles with unit-level emblems and practical airframe data. In 1/48 scale, the tail serials, fuselage titles, and door-area symbols become prominent features that define the finished model.

For modelers: this sheet is useful when you want a Vietnam-era UH-1 with precise serials and unit associations rather than a generic marking layout. The decal sheet includes a large selection of technical stencils and data, so it is recommended to apply the main identifiers first (titles, serials, insignia) and add stencils afterward to keep spacing and alignment consistent. This project is best suited to intermediate and advanced builders due to the amount of small stencil work.
