Print Scale 72-405 Decal Jaguar GR.Mk1 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-405 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1/72 scale models of the SEPECAT Jaguar in RAF service, focusing on the Jaguar GR.1 and later related airframes shown in the option list. The set includes aircraft codes, serials, squadron identifiers, and selected nose-art style titles where applicable.

The Jaguar served as a British strike aircraft through the late Cold War period and into later decades, with aircraft regularly rotating between UK bases, overseas detachments, and exercises. This sheet concentrates on RAF subjects linked to RAF Coltishall and other documented appearances, including several aircraft carrying mission tally symbols and special presentation tails.

For modelers, this set helps build a Jaguar with a clearly defined aircraft identity rather than generic national insignia only. It is listed as universal for 1/72 Jaguar plastic model kits; best results come from matching your kit to the chosen airframe standard (GR.1 vs GR.3/GR.3A features) before applying the codes and small text. Due to the amount of fine markings and alignment work, it is best suited to experienced builders. Scale: 1/72 (also written as 1:72).
