Print Scale 72-356 Decal Curtiss SOC Seagull Part 1 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-356 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft models of the Curtiss SOC Seagull, a shipborne reconnaissance floatplane operated by the United States Navy before and during the early years of World War II. This decal set provides historically documented markings suitable for naval aviation subjects of the late 1930s and early 1940s.

The Curtiss SOC Seagull was used primarily for observation, scouting, and utility duties from battleships and cruisers. Aircraft represented in this Part 1 release reflect typical fleet assignments aboard US Navy surface vessels, including light cruisers, heavy cruisers, and battleships, during the pre-war and early WWII period.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to ensure accurate placement on compact floatplane airframes, including fuselage codes, national insignia, and ship-based identification markings. This set is compatible with any 1:72 scale plastic model kit depicting the Curtiss SOC Seagull and is recommended for advanced modelers due to the number of marking options and the specific placement requirements of naval aircraft markings.
