Print Scale 72-041 Decal CH-47 Chinook Scale 1:72

Print Scale 72-041 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1:72 scale helicopter models of the Boeing CH-47 Chinook. This decal set provides historically documented markings for multiple Chinook airframes operated by the United States Army across different operational periods.

The CH-47 Chinook is a twin-rotor heavy-lift helicopter introduced in the 1960s and used extensively for transport, support, and special missions. Markings included in this set represent aircraft from the Vietnam War era through later service decades, reflecting changes in unit identifiers, serial styles, and nose art traditions within U.S. Army aviation.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to ensure accurate placement on large helicopter surfaces in 1:72 scale. This set is compatible with 1:72 scale plastic model kits of the CH-47 Chinook family and is recommended for advanced modelers due to the size of the aircraft, variety of marking options, and detailed airframe stenciling.
