Print Scale 72-446 Decal Unit Insignia Nakajima Ki-43 Tail marks Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-446 waterslide decals are designed for 1/72 scale plastic model kits of the Nakajima Ki-43, focusing specifically on unit insignia and tail marks. This type of decal sheet supports WWII-era Japanese Army Air Force subjects by providing unit-style identifiers intended for the tail and related airframe areas.

The Ki-43 is a light fighter aircraft associated with multiple units and operating areas during World War II. Tail markings and unit insignia are a practical way to differentiate otherwise similar airframes, especially when building several Ki-43 variants or representing different unit contexts.

For modelers, this set is useful when you want to upgrade or replace kit decals with a dedicated sheet of insignia-style elements. It is listed as universal for 1/72 Ki-43 model kits; because tail markings are highly visible, careful alignment and a smooth gloss surface are recommended before sealing with a clear coat.

FAQ

Does this sheet include specific aircraft serials or individual marking options?

This product is presented as a unit-insignia and tail-mark sheet rather than a list of individual aircraft options. Use it to build a Ki-43 with unit-style identifiers, based on your chosen reference scheme.

Will these decals fit any 1/72 Nakajima Ki-43 kit?

The set is listed as universal for 1/72 scale. Check the fin and rudder dimensions on your kit and test-position larger tail elements before final application.

Are these decals only for one Ki-43 version?

They can be used across the Ki-43 family as long as the selected tail marking layout matches your specific airframe configuration.

What’s the best way to apply tail markings cleanly?

Apply on a gloss surface, align using panel lines and control-surface edges, and allow decals to fully dry before applying a protective clear coat.
