Print Scale 72-077 Decal P-39 Airacobra Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-077 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft models of the Bell P-39 Airacobra, a single-engine fighter used by several Allied air forces during the Second World War. This decal set provides a curated selection of historically documented markings representing different variants and operators of the P-39 family.

The Bell P-39 Airacobra was produced in multiple sub-variants, including the P-400 export version and later P-39D, N, L, and Q models. Aircraft of this type were operated in diverse environments, ranging from the Pacific and Mediterranean regions to Eastern and Western European theatres, resulting in a wide variety of camouflage schemes and individual markings.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to ensure precise application on compact fuselage shapes and distinctive wing surfaces of the Airacobra. This set is compatible with any 1:72 scale Bell P-39 Airacobra plastic model kit and is recommended for advanced modelers due to the number of marking options and the fine detail involved.
