Print Scale 72-036 Decal P-61 Black Widow Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-036 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft models of the Northrop P-61 Black Widow, a twin-engine night fighter operated by the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. This decal set provides a broad selection of historically documented aircraft markings from multiple Night Fighter Squadrons.

The P-61 Black Widow was the first US aircraft purpose-built as a night fighter, featuring onboard radar and heavy armament. Aircraft represented in this set reflect operational service in the Pacific, China–Burma–India, and European theaters between 1944 and 1945. The content is presented in a neutral, reference-based historical context.

For modelers, this decal sheet enables accurate finishing of P-61A and P-61B variants in 1:72 scale. Marked as universal, it can be used with most compatible plastic model kits of the P-61 Black Widow. Due to the quantity of individual aircraft options, nose art elements, and unit-specific codes, this set is generally recommended for experienced builders.
