Print Scale 72-430 Decal FW-190 D-9 Part 2 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-430 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1/72 scale aircraft models of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-9 (“Dora”). This “Part 2” sheet provides multiple late-war German WWII Air Force marking options, with unit attributions, locations, and dates centered on the 1944–1945 operational period.

The Fw 190 D-9 is a long-nose development within the Fw 190 fighter family, commonly modeled in late WWII contexts where unit codes, Werknummer (W.Nr.) references, and localized marking styles can vary between wings and staff flights. In 1/72 scale, these differences are often visible through code style, emblem placement, and the balance of markings across the fuselage.

For modelers, this set is listed as Any / Universal for 1/72 Fw 190 D-9 kits. With twelve options and several entries that include Werknummer details, careful selection is recommended to match your kit’s D-9 configuration (prop, canopy type, and antenna layout) to the chosen aircraft. Due to the number of multi-part markings and precise alignment requirements on a small airframe, this sheet is best suited to experienced builders. Scale note: 1/72 (also written as 1:72).

FAQ

How many marking options are included in Print Scale 72-430?

This sheet includes twelve Fw 190 D-9 marking options, as listed in the product option list.

Do I need to match a specific Dora configuration to these decals?

Yes. While the set is listed as universal, Fw 190 D-9 kits can differ in canopy type, antenna layout, and small airframe details. Matching your kit to the chosen aircraft option helps keep the finished model consistent.

Why are some entries labeled with W.Nr. numbers?

W.Nr. refers to Werknummer (airframe production number). When provided, it helps identify a specific aircraft and can assist with research and option selection.

One option lists two possible W.Nr. numbers. How should I handle that?

The option is presented with the ambiguity as given in the source list. If your build requires a single confirmed number, you may prefer another option with a single W.Nr. reference.

Is this sheet suitable for beginner modelers?

It is generally better suited to advanced builders due to the number of options and the precision needed to align multi-part codes and small markings in 1/72 scale.
