Print Scale 72-359 Decal British Royal Navy Corsair Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-359 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1:72 scale aircraft models of the Vought Corsair as operated by the British Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm during the Second World War. This decal sheet provides historically researched service markings for British-operated Corsair aircraft used in naval aviation roles.

The Corsair entered Fleet Air Arm service in several British-designated variants and was operated from shore bases and aircraft carriers. British Corsairs served in European, Atlantic, and overseas theaters, reflecting a range of camouflage schemes, unit codes, and serial styles appropriate to WWII naval aviation.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to support accurate placement on compact 1:72 scale airframes. This set is compatible with 1:72 scale plastic model kits representing the Corsair family and is recommended for advanced modelers due to the complexity of unit codes, serial numbers, and national markings typical of Royal Navy aircraft.
