Print Scale 72-273 Decal Hawker Tempest Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-273 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft models representing the Hawker Tempest, a British single-seat fighter developed during the later stages of the Second World War. This decal set provides researched markings suitable for plastic model kits depicting operational Tempest aircraft used in frontline service.

The Hawker Tempest was introduced as a development of earlier Hawker fighter designs and was optimized for high-speed, low- and medium-altitude operations. Entering service in 1944, the type was employed in various combat and interception roles during the final phase of WWII, making it a relevant subject for late-war British aviation modeling projects.

This decal set is intended for modelers focusing on WWII-era fighter aircraft and accurate service markings. The decals are printed on thin carrier film to allow precise application over the Tempest’s aerodynamic surfaces and control areas. The set is compatible with any 1:72 scale Hawker Tempest plastic model kit and is recommended for advanced modelers due to the aircraft’s surface detail and multi-area marking layout.
