Print Scale 72-399 Decal Chance-Vought F4U Corsair. Argentina Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-399 waterslide decals are designed for 1/72 scale aircraft plastic model kits of the Chance Vought F4U Corsair in Argentine naval aviation markings. The sheet focuses on post-war Corsair operators and provides a set of aircraft numbers and identifiers suitable for Cold War era Argentine subjects.

Late Corsair variants such as the F4U-5 and F4U-5NL continued in service after WWII with several operators. Argentine aircraft of this period are visually defined by their national insignia, the “3-A-…” serial style used by naval aviation units, and changes between earlier and later paint schemes referenced in the option notes.

For modelers, this set is listed as universal and can be applied to any compatible 1/72 F4U Corsair kit, as long as your kit represents the correct late-variant features (F4U-5 / F4U-5NL details differ from early Corsairs). Because several options combine large fuselage numbers with smaller identifiers, careful alignment and a smooth gloss base coat are recommended; this set is generally best suited to experienced builders.
