Print Scale 48-233 Decal 1:48 Hurrican Africa Top Pilots Part 5 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-233 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1/48 scale models of the Hawker Hurricane family, covering RAF and Royal Navy subjects presented for the Mediterranean and North Africa context. This Part 5 set provides aircraft codes, serials, roundels, and unit-style identifiers to build specific Hurricane and Sea Hurricane variants with documented location and date notes.

The sheet includes the main national insignia and code combinations for five aircraft, plus supporting markings needed to complete the external appearance. A separate stencil placement guide is included in the instructions to help reproduce the small airframe details consistently.

The Hurricane served in multiple theatres and configurations, including tropicalized variants and naval adaptations. For scale projects, the type is well suited to builds where serials, code letters, and theatre-appropriate roundel styles are prominent and easy to read on the finished model.

This decal set is intended for modelers who want clearly defined Hurricane subjects rather than generic markings. It can be used with most compatible 1/48 Hawker Hurricane / Sea Hurricane plastic model kits; choose the option that matches your kit’s variant features (Mk I, Mk IIa, Sea Hurricane, and Trop equipment where applicable). Scale: 1/48 (also written as 1:48).
