Print Scale 72-355 Decal Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-355 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1:72 scale aircraft models of the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23, focusing on the MiG-23MLD variant operated during the late Cold War period. This decal set provides a selection of researched service markings suitable for aircraft assigned to Soviet Air Force units in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The MiG-23MLD represented one of the final refinement stages of the MiG-23 family, incorporating aerodynamic and systems updates compared to earlier versions. Aircraft covered by this set reflect operational service with frontline fighter regiments, including deployments to forward airfields and later post-service repair periods, presented in a neutral and documentation-based context.

For modelers, this decal sheet supports accurate finishing of MiG-23MLD projects in 1:72 scale without limitation to a specific kit manufacturer. Marked as universal, it can be applied to most compatible plastic model kits representing the MiG-23 airframe. Due to the quantity of individual numbers, insignia, and unit-specific details, this set is generally recommended for experienced builders.
