Print Scale 72-088 Decal Sikorsky H-34 The complete set 1.5 leaf Scale 1:72 for Helicopter Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-088 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1:72 scale helicopter models of the Sikorsky H-34 family, a medium utility helicopter widely operated by U.S. military services during the late 1950s and throughout the Vietnam War era. This decal set provides multiple historically documented marking options covering Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard service.

The Sikorsky H-34 appeared under several designations depending on operator and role, including CH-34A, UH-34D, HUS-1, HSS-1, and HSS-1N. These helicopters were employed in medical evacuation, transport, anti-submarine warfare, and general utility duties, resulting in varied external markings, unit identifiers, and service-specific insignia.

This decal set allows modelers to accurately reproduce service markings, serials, and unit codes applied to H-34 helicopters operating from land bases, aircraft carriers, and expeditionary locations. The decals are printed on thin carrier film to ensure clean application on complex helicopter fuselage surfaces and are recommended for experienced modelers.
