Print Scale 48-248 Decal USAF Lockheed U2/TR-1 Part 2 Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-248 waterslide decals are designed for 1/48 scale models of the Lockheed U-2 / TR-1 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft (Part 2). The sheet includes large airframe titles, tail codes and numbers, distinctive prototype-style identification markings, and a selection of airframe stencils shown in the placement diagrams.

The U-2 family spans early test and evaluation appearances through later operational configurations. This set covers three subjects linked to different phases of the aircraft’s history, including early NACA/NASA-related presentation markings and a TR-1A aircraft later associated with U-2S conversion.

For modelers, the decals are intended for 1/48 scale U-2 / TR-1 plastic model kits. Several elements are long and alignment-sensitive (numbers, stripes, and large titles), so a smooth gloss surface and careful measurement before placement are recommended.

FAQ

How many aircraft options are included in Print Scale 48-248?

This sheet includes three marking options: two U-2A presentation subjects and one TR-1A aircraft with later U-2S association.

Does the set include large stripes and full-size titles?

Yes. The sheet includes large “NACA / 320” style identifiers, prominent number blocks, and long stripe elements that require careful alignment.

Is this set compatible with any 1/48 U-2 kit?

It is intended for 1/48 U-2 / TR-1 kits, but best results come from choosing a kit that matches the specific configuration details of the selected option.

Are these decals suitable for beginners?

Because the markings combine large alignment-sensitive pieces with smaller details, the set is generally more comfortable for intermediate to advanced modelers.
