Print Scale 48-276 Decal Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter decals Part 2 Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-276 waterslide decals are designed for 1/48 scale (also written as 1:48) models of the Sopwith 1½ Strutter operated by French escadrilles during the First World War. This Part 2 sheet focuses on French service-style markings and includes five option-based schemes with distinctive unit emblems, serials, and large geometric identifiers.

The Sopwith 1½ Strutter family was used in several roles and sub-variants, including B.1 and B.2 bomber configurations and A.2 aircraft. The options in this set reflect period marking practice where prominent symbols, chevrons, and tail pennants were used alongside roundels and aircraft numbers.

For modelers: this set is useful when you want French WWI subjects with strong visual identifiers such as the Sop 111 swan emblem, Sop 107 snake motif, and bold chevron markings. Some options include limited background data in the set notes, so following the provided placement guide is the best approach. Due to the size and layering of the main graphics, plus fine detail elements, this sheet is generally best for intermediate and advanced builds.
