Print Scale 72-393 Decal FW-190 in Foreign Service Part 1 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-393 waterslide decals are designed for 1/72 scale plastic model kits of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190, focusing on aircraft that appeared outside standard German WWII Air Force frontline contexts. This “Foreign Service Part 1” sheet includes a mix of documented airframes—captured, reassigned, or evaluated—providing distinctive codes and identifiers for WWII-era builds.

The Fw 190 is a well-known fighter family with many sub-variants and field modifications. This set highlights unusual operator stories in a strictly catalog-style way: specific Werknummer (W.Nr), unit references, and locations or timeframes that help you select an accurate scheme.

For modelers, this decal sheet is useful when you want a Fw 190 that stands apart from standard unit markings, including examples tied to Hungary, France (Normandie-Niemen context), Japan (evaluation), and captured aircraft notes. The set is listed as universal for 1/72 Fw 190 kits; due to multi-part codes and small badge elements, careful alignment on a gloss surface is recommended.

FAQ

Is this set only for one Fw 190 variant?

No. The options reference several variants within the Fw 190 family (A-3, A-5, A-8/R6, and F-8), plus an NC900 designation. Match the chosen option to your kit’s airframe features.

What does “foreign service” mean in the context of this decal sheet?

It refers to aircraft presented with non-standard operator contexts, including captured aircraft notes, reassigned service, and evaluation testing outside Germany.

Will these decals work with any 1/72 Fw 190 kit?

The set is listed as universal. Confirm code sizing and placement against your specific kit, especially around the fuselage cross area, fin/rudder shapes, and any variant-specific panels.

Do I need decal setting solutions for the badge and code elements?

They are optional. A gloss base coat helps reduce silvering, and setting solutions can help the film conform over rivets or panel lines if your kit has pronounced surface detail.
