Print Scale 72-383 Decal Hawker Sea Hurricane Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-383 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft plastic model kits representing the Hawker Sea Hurricane, a naval adaptation of the Hurricane fighter used by the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm during the Second World War. This decal set provides historically researched markings for carrier-based and shore-based naval fighters.

The Sea Hurricane was developed to meet the needs of naval air defense and operated from aircraft carriers and coastal air stations between 1940 and 1945. The aircraft featured in this set represent different marks and configurations used during major naval operations across the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Indian Ocean theaters.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to ensure accurate placement on compact single-engine fighter airframes, including fuselage codes, serial numbers, national insignia, and unit markings. This set is compatible with any 1:72 scale plastic model kit depicting the Hawker Sea Hurricane and is recommended for experienced modelers due to the complexity of naval camouflage schemes and carrier-based markings.
