Print Scale 48-241 Decal D-520 Dewoitine Part 2 Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-241 waterslide decals are designed for 1/48 scale aircraft models of the Dewoitine D.520 (Part 2). This sheet provides multiple French D.520 marking options from the 1940–1944 period, including aircraft numbers, unit codes, national insignia, and option-specific emblems and band elements.

Scale: 1/48 (also written as 1:48). The decal layout is organized by numbered options and includes large identifiers plus smaller unit symbols intended for clean placement on a standard D.520 paint finish.

The Dewoitine D.520 was a single-seat fighter used by French units during the early years of WWII, with aircraft operating from European and North African locations. Many airframes carried highly visible numbers and unit insignia, making the type a practical subject for historically styled markings without heavy narrative context.

For modelers, this set is useful when you want several distinct aircraft options on one sheet, each with its own number set and emblem details. Some schemes rely on long stripe segments and repeated number characters, so careful alignment and dry fitting are recommended for best results on any compatible 1/48 D.520 kit.

FAQ

How many aircraft options are included in this Part 2 sheet?

The set provides markings for five aircraft options, numbered 1 through 5 in the instruction artwork.

Are the large aircraft numbers provided for both sides?

Yes. The sheet includes repeated number characters and paired elements so the main identifiers can be applied to both sides as required by each option.

Does the set include unit emblems and special insignia elements?

Yes. In addition to numbers and national insignia, the sheet includes option-specific emblems and symbols (such as unit badges and anchor-style marks for the 2AC option).

Do any schemes require painted bands in addition to decals?

Some options include paint notes in the instruction reference (for example, nose or band treatment). The decals provide the markings, while certain color/band effects may be completed with paint for accuracy.
