Print Scale 72-247 Decal Heinkel He.162 Salamander Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-247 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft models representing the Heinkel He 162 “Salamander”. This decal set provides historically researched markings for late-war German aircraft and for postwar evaluation airframes operated by several countries.

The He 162 was a compact single-engine jet fighter developed during the final stage of World War II. In addition to late-war service markings, a number of captured aircraft were evaluated after 1945, creating a broader range of national markings and identification styles that differ from wartime German WWII Air Force schemes.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to support accurate placement on the He 162’s small airframe and fine surface details. The set is suitable for any 1:72 scale Heinkel He 162 plastic model kit and is typically recommended for experienced modelers due to precise alignment requirements and multi-option selection.
