Print Scale 72-050 Decal De Havilland Sea Vixen The complete set 2 leaf Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-050 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft models of the de Havilland Sea Vixen. This decal set provides markings for British twin-boom carrier-based jet fighters operated by the Royal Navy during the late Cold War period.

The de Havilland Sea Vixen served as an all-weather fleet air defence fighter and was primarily operated from Royal Navy aircraft carriers. Throughout its service life, the aircraft appeared in a wide range of squadron markings, test schemes, display liveries, and preserved airframes, reflecting its operational, evaluation, and training roles.

For modelers, this decal set enables accurate representation of multiple Sea Vixen FAW.1 and FAW.2 aircraft by supplying squadron codes, serial numbers, national insignia, and special markings. The decals are suitable for 1:72 scale Sea Vixen plastic model kits from various manufacturers and are generally recommended for experienced builders due to the size of the aircraft and the complexity of Royal Navy markings.
