Print Scale 72-369 Decal VVS USSR Faded National Insignia 1935-1945 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-369 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft models featuring VVS USSR faded national insignia used between 1935 and 1945. This decal sheet provides weathered-style markings intended to represent service-applied insignia suitable for pre-war and WWII-era Soviet aircraft.

National insignia of the Soviet Air Forces (VVS) evolved in size, color tone, and application methods during the pre-war and World War II periods. In operational use, markings were often affected by exposure, repainting, and field maintenance, resulting in visible fading and tonal variation. This set focuses on such visually subdued insignia commonly observed in period photographs.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to allow precise placement and controlled integration with painted surfaces. This set is compatible with 1:72 scale plastic model kits representing Soviet aircraft of the late 1930s and WWII period and is recommended for advanced modelers aiming to depict realistic surface wear and operational finishes.
