Print Scale 72-414 Decal 1:72 Lockheed F-104 Starfigter technical stencils, The complete set 2 leaf

Print Scale 72-414 waterslide decals are designed for 1/72 scale (also written as 1:72) plastic model kits of the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter and focus specifically on technical stencils rather than unit markings. This set is intended for builders who want a realistic maintenance-and-safety marking layout on a Cold War jet without changing the main paint scheme.

The F-104 family is known for compact surfaces and dense servicing data around panels, intakes, and access points. A dedicated stencil sheet helps keep warning labels, fuel and hydraulic notes, rescue markings, and panel identifiers consistent across the airframe.

For modelers: this is a detail-heavy stencil set (two decal sheets) and is best applied after gloss coating and major markings. Because different F-104 sub-variants can vary in panel layout, it’s recommended to compare stencil placement with your kit’s surface detail before committing to final positions.

FAQ

Does this set include squadron markings or national insignia?

No. Print Scale 72-414 is focused on technical stencils (maintenance, safety, and servicing style markings). Unit-specific markings are typically provided by separate decal sheets.

Which Starfighter versions are these stencils intended for?

This release is commonly listed for F-104C and F-104J stencil coverage. If you are building another F-104 variant, compare stencil placement with the kit’s panel layout and references before applying.

Can I use this stencil set with any 1/72 F-104 kit?

It is listed as universal for 1/72 kits. Fit and placement can still vary between manufacturers, so it helps to test a few key stencil groups against panel lines and access hatches first.

What’s the best order for applying a full stencil set?

Many modelers apply main markings first, then stencils in sections (nose, fuselage, wings, tail) over a glossy surface, finishing with a clear coat to unify the sheen.
