Print Scale 72-417 Decal Hawker Tempest F.6 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-417 Waterslide Decals are designed for Hawker Tempest F.6 (Tempest Mk VI) aircraft in 1/72 scale (also written as 1:72). This set focuses on late-1940s RAF Tempest subjects, with squadron codes, serials, and national markings suitable for post-war service builds.

The Tempest F.6 was a late development of the Tempest fighter family and is often associated with warm-climate deployments and overseas RAF stations after World War II. The options in this sheet reflect that context through unit identifiers and location notes for the Middle East and Africa.

For modelers, this decal sheet helps reproduce clear RAF code/serial presentations and consistent roundel placement on a distinctive, large-wing single-engine aircraft. The set is listed as universal and can be used with any compatible 1/72 Hawker Tempest Mk VI plastic model kit. Because RAF code letters require careful spacing and alignment on both fuselage sides, this set is best suited to intermediate to advanced builders.
