Print Scale 72-190 Decal Yakovlev Yak-9 Part 2 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-190 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1/72 scale models of the Yakovlev Yak-9 fighter family. This Part 2 sheet provides aircraft-specific numbers, insignia elements, and national markings intended to build clearly identifiable Yak-9 subjects from the WWII period.

The Yak-9 series was one of the main Soviet fighter families of the later wartime years and appeared in several sub-variants used on different fronts. The marking choices in this set focus on Yak-9T and related configurations, including documented unit codes and individual aircraft numbers.

For modelers, this sheet is useful when you want a Yak-9 project with a defined identity rather than generic red stars. It is listed as universal for 1/72 Yak-9 kits; accuracy improves if your kit matches the chosen sub-variant and canopy/armament details. Because several options include fine digits and small emblem elements, this set is best suited to experienced builders. Scale: 1/72 (also written as 1:72).

FAQ

How many marking options are included in Print Scale 72-190?

This sheet provides sixteen separate aircraft marking options, identified by aircraft numbers, unit references, and (where stated) associated personnel names.

Is this set only for Yak-9T?

Most options are Yak-9T subjects, and one option is listed as Yak-9K; one option is listed as Yak-9KP. For best accuracy, match your kit configuration to the selected option.

Does the set include stencil data?

The instruction artwork references technical stencil placement and color callouts. Use your kit instructions and reference photos to confirm exact stencil positions for your chosen Yak-9 variant.

What helps with applying large stars and multi-part numbers cleanly?

Apply decals over a smooth gloss finish, position larger items first, then add smaller digits/emblems. Setting solutions may be used according to modeler preference once alignment is confirmed.
