Print Scale 72-481 Decal Dewoitine D.520 Part 2 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-481 waterslide decals are designed for 1/72 scale (also written as 1:72) plastic model kits of the Dewoitine D.520, Part 2. This sheet provides aircraft-specific numbers, tactical colors, and unit identifiers for French-operated D.520 subjects linked to 1940–1944 references, including metropolitan France and North Africa / Levant locations listed in the option notes.

The D.520 is a single-seat fighter associated with the early WWII period and later regional service contexts. For modelers, its compact airframe and clear fuselage sides make individual aircraft numbers, mottling, and unit emblems visually important to the final result.

For modelers: the set is listed as universal for 1/72 kits. Several options reference localized finish details (mottle density, nose colors, unit insignia), so selecting your subject early helps with paint planning before decal application. This sheet is generally best suited to experienced builders due to the number of option-specific identifiers and the need for careful alignment on curved fuselage areas.

Are camouflage notes included for any of the subjects?
