Print Scale 72-106 Decal Lockheed P-2 Neptune Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-106 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft models of the Lockheed P-2 Neptune, a long-range maritime patrol and anti-submarine aircraft widely operated during the Cold War period. This decal set provides historically researched markings for U.S. Navy Neptune aircraft assigned to patrol squadrons operating across the Pacific, Atlantic, and Southeast Asia.

The Lockheed P-2 Neptune served as a primary maritime patrol platform for the United States Navy from the late 1940s through the 1960s. Aircraft included in this decal set represent different production variants and mission configurations used for anti-submarine warfare, maritime surveillance, and extended patrol operations during the early and mid–Cold War era.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to support accurate placement on large fuselage surfaces, engine nacelles, and tail sections characteristic of the Neptune airframe. The set is marked as universal and is compatible with any 1:72 scale Lockheed P-2 Neptune plastic model kit. Due to the size of the aircraft and the complexity of squadron-specific markings, this set is recommended for advanced modelers.
