Print Scale 72-382 Decal Spitfire Top Pilots of Northwest Europe 1944-45 Part 1 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-382 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft models representing the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX operated over Northwest Europe during the final phase of the Second World War. This decal set provides researched markings suitable for plastic model kits depicting RAF and Allied Spitfire units active in 1944–1945.

The Spitfire Mk.IX became one of the most widely used fighter variants during the later stages of WWII and was operated by numerous RAF and Allied squadrons from bases in the United Kingdom and forward airfields in continental Europe. Aircraft involved in operations over Northwest Europe displayed a wide variety of squadron codes, individual aircraft letters, and national insignia reflecting multinational Allied participation.

This decal set is intended for modelers focusing on late-war Allied fighter aircraft and accurate unit-level markings. The decals are printed on thin carrier film to support precise application on the Spitfire’s fuselage, wings, and control surfaces. The set is compatible with any 1:72 scale Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX plastic model kit and is recommended for advanced modelers due to the number of marking options and stencil placement.
