Print Scale 72-197 Decal Macchi C.202 Folgore Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-197 waterslide decals are intended for 1/72 scale (also written as 1:72) plastic model kits of the Macchi C.202 Folgore. This set focuses on WWII-era Folgore subjects and provides a broad selection of aircraft-specific markings across different production series, including Italian service aircraft and captured or re-marked airframes documented in wartime use.

The C.202 combined an Italian airframe with an inline engine layout, and it is often modeled for its varied factory finishes and unit-level marking styles. Folgore schemes can differ significantly by series and repainting practices, which makes a multi-option decal sheet especially useful for builders who want more than one historically grounded approach.

For modelers: the sheet is listed as universal for 1/72 kits. Many options include distinctive unit insignia, numeric codes, and small details that benefit from careful planning and a staged application order. This set is generally best suited to experienced modelers who are comfortable aligning multi-part markings over panel lines and compound curves.
