Print Scale 72-068 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft plastic model kits representing the Mitsubishi A6M “Zero”. This decal set provides a broad selection of historically researched markings for different Zero variants operated by Japanese naval aviation during the Second World War.
