Print Scale 72-116 Decal 1:72 North Vietnamese MIGs (Mig 17 Mig 19 Mig 21) of the Vietnam War

Print Scale 72-116 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft models representing North Vietnamese MiG fighters operated during the Vietnam War. This decal set covers multiple aircraft types used by the Vietnam People’s Air Force, including MiG-17, MiG-19, and MiG-21 variants flown between the mid-1960s and early 1970s.

Fighter units of the North Vietnamese Air Force operated a diverse fleet of Soviet-built and license-produced aircraft, adapting them to local operational conditions. The markings included in this set reflect aircraft assigned to front-line fighter regiments, featuring unit codes, individual aircraft numbers, national insignia, and historically documented presentation styles of the period.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to ensure accurate placement on compact fighter airframes with minimal surface area. The set is marked as universal and is compatible with any 1:72 scale MiG-17, MiG-19, or MiG-21 plastic model kit. Due to the variety of aircraft types and marking variations, this set is recommended for advanced modelers.
