Print Scale 72-433 Decal 1:72 Grumman E-2C Hawkeye Part 2 The complete set 1.5 leaf

Print Scale 72-433 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1/72 scale aircraft models of the Grumman E-2C Hawkeye. This set (Part 2, supplied as a 1.5-sheet complete set) provides US Navy carrier airborne early warning markings built around Bureau Numbers (BuNo), tail codes, modex numbers, and squadron identifiers.

The E-2C Hawkeye is defined by its large dorsal radome and carrier-aviation code layout, where tail markings and modex numbers are key to the aircraft’s identity. In 1/72 scale, clean placement of large tail codes and nose numbers is central to the finished look.

For modelers, this sheet is listed as Any / Universal for 1/72 E-2C kits. The three options focus on “600” modex aircraft with distinct tail codes and squadron titles, which makes the set useful for a straightforward but highly identifiable build. Due to large multi-part markings and the need for consistent alignment on curved surfaces, this set 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 72-433?

This set includes three E-2C Hawkeye marking options, each identified by BuNo, tail code, modex number, and squadron.

Do these options represent US Navy carrier aircraft tail codes?

Yes. Each option includes a tail code (NE, AA, or AG) and a “600” modex, which are typical identifiers used on US Navy aircraft.

Will this set work with any 1/72 E-2C kit?

It is listed as Any / Universal. As with most decals, it’s recommended to compare the placement guide to your kit’s panel lines and tail/radome configuration before application.

Why is this set recommended for advanced modelers?

Large tail codes and multi-part modex markings need straight alignment across curved surfaces, and the Hawkeye’s tail and fuselage areas can make positioning sensitive to small errors.
