Print Scale 72-121 Decal Fiat CR.42 Falco Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-121 waterslide decals are designed for 1/72 scale aircraft models of the Fiat CR.42 Falco. This sheet provides multiple historically documented marking options for this biplane fighter family, allowing builders to finish a model in different unit and service appearances from the late 1930s through the early 1940s.

The set is intended for use on 1/72 scale plastic model kits and can be applied to any compatible CR.42 kit with matching dimensions. The marking options include variations with different serial presentations, unit identifiers, and national insignia layouts.

The Fiat CR.42 was one of the last widely operated biplane fighters of its era and served in several air arms during the early years of World War II. The included subjects cover aircraft associated with operational squadrons, training or home-based units, and export/captured service contexts where recorded.

For modelers, this sheet is useful when you want flexibility in choosing a specific squadron, base, and time window without changing the base kit. Because several options involve small unit markings and detailed codes, this set is generally better suited to advanced builders familiar with careful decal placement and surface preparation.
