Print Scale 48-252 Decal WWII-era German Air Force 1940-45 insignia. Winkel. Part 1 Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-252 waterslide decals are intended for 1/48 scale aircraft model kits and provide a selection of WWII-era German Air Force “Winkel” chevron-style insignia used on German aircraft during the 1940–1945 period. This sheet is designed as a flexible resource for builders who need consistent chevron markings across multiple projects.

Winkel-style symbols are recognizable by their angular, V-shaped geometry and were used in various sizes and styles depending on the aircraft and marking layout. Because these elements are simple but highly visible, correct proportion and clean edges are important for a realistic finish in 1/48 scale.

For modelers, this set works as a practical “parts box” decal sheet: it includes multiple chevron shapes and outline styles that can be selected to match your reference material. Application is generally straightforward, but precise alignment is recommended—especially when placing repeated chevrons or layered/outlined elements.
