Print Scale 72-296 Decal 1:72 Avro 683 "Lankaster" In the complete set 1.5 sheets

Print Scale 72-296 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1:72 scale aircraft plastic model kits representing the Avro 683 Lancaster, a British four-engine heavy bomber used during the Second World War. This decal set provides a selection of historically researched markings covering multiple Lancaster B Mk.I and Mk.III aircraft.

The Avro Lancaster served as a long-range bomber operated by several Allied air forces during the 1939–1945 period. Aircraft represented in this set reflect different operational units, production batches, and service contexts, offering a varied cross-section of Lancaster airframes used throughout the war.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to support precise application on large airframe surfaces, including fuselage codes, serial numbers, national insignia, and nose art elements where applicable. This set is compatible with any 1:72 scale plastic model kit of the Avro Lancaster and is recommended for experienced modelers due to the size of the aircraft and the complexity of multi-engine bomber markings.
