Print Scale 72-352 Decal Silver F-105D Thunderchiefs in the Viet nam War Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-352 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft models representing the Republic F-105D Thunderchief finished in natural metal and early silver schemes used during the Vietnam War period. This decal set provides researched markings suitable for plastic model kits depicting United States Air Force tactical aircraft operated from bases in Southeast Asia.

The F-105D Thunderchief was a single-seat supersonic fighter-bomber developed for long-range strike missions and became one of the primary USAF aircraft types deployed during the 1960s. Early in its operational service, the aircraft appeared in natural metal or silver finishes before the widespread introduction of camouflage schemes, making these markings characteristic of the initial Vietnam-era deployment phase.

This decal set is intended for modelers focusing on Cold War jet aircraft and historically accurate USAF service markings. The decals are printed on thin carrier film to support precise application on the Thunderchief’s large fuselage, wing surfaces, and external stores. The set is compatible with any 1:72 scale Republic F-105D Thunderchief plastic model kit and is recommended for advanced modelers due to the aircraft’s size and the complexity of national and unit markings.
