Print Scale 72-415 Decal Hawker Tyhoon Mk.Ib The complete set 2 leaf Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-415 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1/72 scale aircraft models of the Hawker Typhoon Mk Ib. Supplied as a complete set on two sheets, this product provides multiple late-war RAF and RCAF-oriented marking options for Typhoons operating in Northwest Europe, including aircraft identified by squadron codes, serials, and selected personal or aircraft names.

The Typhoon Mk Ib is commonly modeled in its 1944–1945 configuration, when unit code styles and airframe identifiers were prominent on the fuselage sides and could vary between wings, squadrons, and operating locations. In 1/72 scale, correct spacing of code letters and serials helps the model read as a specific aircraft rather than a generic scheme.

For modelers, this set is listed as Any / Universal for 1/72 Typhoon kits. The number of options and the inclusion of code/serial combinations across different units make it a flexible choice for planners who want to select a specific aircraft identity. Due to the quantity of markings and the need for careful alignment on a small-scale airframe, this sheet is best suited to experienced builders. Scale note: 1/72 (also written as 1:72).
