Print Scale 48-273 Decal Mitsubishi Ki-21 Part 1 Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-273 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1/48 scale plastic model kits of the Mitsubishi Ki-21 (Part 1). The sheet provides national insignia and tail marking elements intended for five documented Ki-21-II subjects, covering training and operational contexts in the Pacific region during 1942–1945. Scale: 1/48 (also written as 1:48).

The Mitsubishi Ki-21 was a twin-engine Japanese bomber type used in multiple theatres. Aircraft in the Ki-21-II series are recorded with varied tail bands, unit devices, and camouflage approaches that changed by unit and period, which makes the type a distinctive subject for WWII-era aviation projects.

For modelers, this set is useful when you want to reproduce different Ki-21-II marking styles while keeping consistent insignia sizing across the airframe. The decals are listed as universal and can be applied to any compatible 1/48 Mitsubishi Ki-21 kit. Some options include large tail elements and multi-part marking placement, so careful alignment is typically recommended.
