Print Scale 72-358 Decal Loire 130 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-358 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1:72 scale aircraft models of the Loire 130, a French naval reconnaissance seaplane operated during the World War II period. This decal set provides historically researched markings suitable for plastic model kits representing shipborne and coastal-based Loire 130 aircraft.

The Loire 130 was designed for maritime reconnaissance, observation, and liaison duties and operated from both naval vessels and shore bases. Aircraft of this type were used by French naval and air units in various regions, including mainland France, North Africa, and overseas territories. The markings included in this set reflect documented operational use between the late 1930s and early 1940s.

This decal set supports accurate finishing of Loire 130 models in 1:72 scale. The decals are printed on thin carrier film to allow precise placement on float-equipped airframes and compact fuselage surfaces. Marked as universal, the set is compatible with any 1:72 scale Loire 130 plastic model kit. Due to the aircraft’s configuration and the complexity of floatplane markings, this set is recommended for experienced modelers.
