Print Scale 72-146 Decal Messerschmitt Bf 109 K Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-146 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1:72 scale aircraft plastic model kits of the Messerschmitt Bf 109 K-4, the final operational production variant of the famous German fighter used during the closing stages of the Second World War.

The Bf 109 K-4 entered service in late 1944 as an attempt to standardize and improve the performance of the Bf 109 series. It featured the DB 605D engine and was primarily deployed by frontline fighter units of the WWII-era German Air Force during the defense of Germany. Aircraft of this type were operated by several Jagdgeschwader and training or conversion units and appeared in a wide range of late-war camouflage schemes and tactical markings.

This decal set provides an extensive selection of historically documented marking options, allowing the modeler to depict aircraft from multiple units, production batches, and operational roles. The subjects include machines identified by individual tactical numbers, Werknummern, and known pilots. The decals are suitable for any 1:72 scale Bf 109 K-4 plastic model kit and are recommended for experienced modelers.
