Print Scale 72-396 Decal FW-190 in Foreign Service Part 2 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-396 Waterslide Decals are designed for Focke-Wulf Fw 190 aircraft in 1/72 scale (also written as 1:72). This “Foreign Service Part 2” set covers non-standard or secondary-use Fw 190 subjects, including exported aircraft, captured airframes, and late-war service presentations.

The Fw 190 was a single-seat fighter family with multiple sub-variants that differed in equipment fit and external details. The subjects in this sheet reference airframes from the A-series and the F-series, making it suitable for projects where aircraft identity is defined by Werknummer notes, unit-style codes, and distinctive nose or fuselage inscriptions.

For modelers, this set helps reproduce less-common Fw 190 markings that can add variety to a WWII aircraft collection. It is listed as universal and can be used with any compatible 1/72 Fw 190 plastic model kit (match your kit variant to the chosen subject before application). Because some options rely on precise placement of small text elements and custom inscriptions, this set is best suited to intermediate to advanced builders.

FAQ

How many marking options are included in Print Scale 72-396?

The set provides six marking subjects, numbered 1 through 6 in the manufacturer description.

Does this set focus on non-standard Fw 190 subjects?

Yes. The theme centers on foreign service, captured-airframe use, and late-war presentations rather than typical frontline German WWII Air Force unit schemes.

Is this decal sheet compatible with any 1/72 Fw 190 kit?

It is listed as universal. For best fit, match your kit’s variant (A-3a, A-5, or F-8) and external details to the option you plan to model.

Any tips for applying small text or cowling inscriptions?

Work from larger reference markings first, then place the inscription in sections using panel lines as alignment guides. A mild setting solution can help the decal conform to curved cowlings.
