Print Scale 72-392 Decal 1:72 A-7 Corsair II, Part 3 + A-7 Corsair II technical stencils

Print Scale 72-392 waterslide decals are designed for 1/72 scale aircraft models of the LTV A-7 Corsair II, focused on U.S. Navy carrier-based aircraft from the early 1970s. The set also includes A-7 Corsair II technical stencils, helping you finish both the main markings and the common airframe-level servicing data in one project. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

The A-7 Corsair II was a carrier-capable attack aircraft with large intake areas, a tall fin, and prominent modex-style identifiers. In 1/72 scale, the aircraft’s high-contrast codes and tail markings are especially noticeable, so consistent sizing and alignment can make a big difference in the final look.

For modelers, this sheet is useful if you want a Vietnam War–era U.S. Navy A-7 build with documented BuNo/modex combinations and carrier assignments. It is listed as universal, so it can be applied to compatible 1/72 A-7 kits where the chosen variant matches the airframe details. Because carrier aircraft markings and stencil placement require careful sequencing and precise positioning, this set is typically more comfortable for intermediate and advanced builders.

FAQ

Does this set cover multiple A-7 variants or a single version?

The included options cover multiple Corsair II variants (A-7A, A-7B, A-7C, and A-7E), so it works best when your kit matches the specific airframe version you plan to build.

How do I choose the correct marking option for my kit?

Match your kit’s variant details to the option list (A-7A/B/C/E), then confirm the BuNo/modex combination and carrier assignment you want to represent.

Are the technical stencils optional?

Yes. You can apply only the primary markings for a simpler finish, or add stencils for a more detailed carrier-aircraft presentation.

What helps keep large codes and stencils aligned on a 1/72 jet?

A gloss base coat, measured positioning, and applying markings in stages (large items first, stencils after) can improve alignment and reduce silvering. Use standard waterslide decal methods and setting solutions according to modeler preference.
