Print Scale 72-081 Decal PV-1 Ventura Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-081 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft plastic model kits representing the Lockheed PV-1 Ventura. This decal set provides historically researched markings for aircraft operated by naval and air force units during the Second World War.

The PV-1 Ventura was used primarily in bomber reconnaissance, maritime patrol, and coastal defense roles. It served with several Allied air arms across different theaters, including the Pacific, North America, and the South Pacific region. The markings included in this set reflect aircraft assigned to operational squadrons as well as training and reconnaissance units, presented in a neutral, factual historical context.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to ensure accurate placement of national insignia, squadron codes, serial numbers, and individual aircraft identifiers. This set is compatible with any 1:72 scale Lockheed PV-1 Ventura plastic model kit and is recommended for experienced modelers due to the size of the aircraft and the complexity of multi-national markings.
