Print Scale 72-103 Decal De Havilland DH.82 Tiger Moth Scale 1:72

Print Scale 72-103 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft models of the De Havilland DH.82 Tiger Moth, a British two-seat training and liaison biplane first introduced in the 1930s. This decal set provides a selection of historically documented marking options spanning pre-war, wartime, and immediate post-war service contexts.

The Tiger Moth was widely adopted as a primary trainer by the Royal Air Force and other air services prior to and during the Second World War. Its straightforward design and stable flying characteristics made it suitable for flight instruction, light liaison duties, and support roles. In addition to military use, Tiger Moth aircraft were operated by civilian flying clubs, training organizations, and foreign air arms in the mid-20th century.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to allow accurate placement of national insignia, serial numbers, squadron and training codes, and other unit identifiers on the fabric-covered airframe of the Tiger Moth. This set is compatible with any 1:72 scale plastic model kit representing the DH.82 and is recommended for advanced modelers due to the variety of marking layouts included.
