Print Scale 72-429 Decal FW-190 D-9 Part 1 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-429 waterslide decals are designed for 1/72 scale (also written as 1:72) plastic model kits of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9 (“Dora”), Part 1. This sheet provides multiple late-war German WWII Air Force identification styles, including tactical numbers, unit codes, and aircraft-specific details intended for historically referenced 1944–1945 builds.

The Fw 190D-9 is an inline-engine development of the Fw 190 family and is often modeled for its distinctive long-nose profile and varied late-war marking practices. Options in this set emphasize different staff and unit contexts, allowing a builder to choose a restrained or more distinctive presentation depending on the selected subject.

For modelers: the set is listed as universal for 1/72 kits. Several options rely on code placement that spans multiple panels and curved surfaces, so choosing the subject early and applying markings in planned stages can help maintain alignment. This sheet is generally best suited to experienced builders who want consistent positioning of codes and national markings.

FAQ

Are these decals only for the Fw 190D-9 “Dora” variant?

Yes. The marking options are listed for Fw 190D-9 aircraft. If you are building another Fw 190 variant, compare tail style, fuselage length, and code placement before using the sheet.

Do the options include aircraft work numbers (W.Nr.)?

Some options include W.Nr. details (for example W.Nr. 170933, 211164, 211115, 500576) while others are identified by unit context and location as listed in the set.

Is this decal sheet compatible with any 1/72 Fw 190D-9 kit?

The set is listed as universal. As a practical step, compare the size of codes and crosses to your kit’s wing and fuselage areas before final application.

How can I get cleaner results with late-war code layouts?

Applying decals over a glossy surface and working section-by-section (fuselage sides first, then wings and tail) can help keep alignment consistent and reduce silvering.
