Print Scale 72-087 Decal Douglas F3D Skyknight The complete set 1.5 leaf Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-087 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale plastic model kits of the Douglas F3D Skyknight twin-engine jet aircraft. This decal set provides historically researched marking options for Skyknight aircraft operated by the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps during the early Cold War period.

The Douglas F3D Skyknight was developed as a carrier-based all-weather night fighter and later adapted for electronic warfare duties. It served extensively during the 1950s and became one of the first jet aircraft to perform radar-guided night interception missions. This decal sheet allows modelers to accurately reproduce aircraft in both fighter and electronic warfare configurations.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to ensure clean application, sharp detail, and minimal film visibility after sealing. The set is compatible with most 1:72 scale Douglas F3D Skyknight plastic model kits and is recommended for experienced modelers due to the complexity of squadron markings and special unit insignia.
