Print Scale 72-420 Decal Grumman F7F Tigercat Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-420 waterslide decals are designed for 1/72 scale aircraft plastic model kits of the Grumman F7F Tigercat. This sheet provides aircraft-specific markings for post-WWII and early Cold War era Tigercat variants, covering US Navy and US Marine Corps subjects with documented unit codes, BuNos, and base or deployment notes.

The F7F Tigercat is a twin-engine fighter family that saw continued use in testing, utility, and specialized roles after 1945. In 1/72 scale, its large fin area and broad fuselage sides make squadron codes and side numbers highly visible, and the variant differences (night fighter, photo, drone director) often influence small markings and placement.

For modelers, the set is listed as universal and can be used with any compatible 1/72 F7F kit, provided your kit matches the selected variant (F7F-2D / F7F-2N / F7F-3N / F7F-3P) and antenna/canopy details. Because the options include multiple aligned identifiers and naval-style codes, this set is generally best suited to experienced builders.
