Print Scale 72-421 Decal Lockheed F-104 Starfigter Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-421 waterslide decals are intended for 1/72 scale (also written as 1:72) plastic model kits of the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. This sheet focuses on German-operated Starfighters and provides aircraft-specific codes, serial formats, and unit identifiers suitable for Cold War-era German WWII Air Force and Marineflieger subjects.

The F-104 served as a high-speed interceptor and reconnaissance platform across multiple air arms, and German service aircraft appeared in several standardized camouflage styles. The options in this set include both fighter and reconnaissance presentations, plus naval aviation subjects, giving modelers multiple finish paths within one aircraft family.

For modelers: the set is listed as universal for 1/72 kits. Many choices include distinctive code styles and multi-position national markings, so it helps to select your subject early and plan placement before applying smaller items. This sheet is generally best suited to experienced builders who want consistent alignment across wings, fuselage, and fin.

Yes. The option list includes RF-104G and TF-104G subjects in addition to F-104G aircraft.

Are camouflage notes required to use the decals?

No, but they help you plan paintwork. Several options include RAL/FS references and distinctive features (such as nose bands or fin-area overpainting) that can guide finishing choices.

Is this sheet compatible with any 1/72 F-104 kit?

The set is listed as universal. As a practical check, compare the main codes and national markings to your kit’s fin and wing areas before applying decals.
