Print Scale 72-483 Decal Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-483 waterslide decals are designed for 1/72 scale aircraft models of the Nakajima Ki-84 “Hayate”. This sheet provides multiple late-war Japanese Army Air Service marking options, with units, locations, and time periods listed for builders who want aircraft-specific identifiers rather than generic national markings.

The Ki-84 was a single-engine fighter type used in the final years of WWII, and many aircraft carried variations in tail codes, unit symbols, and field-applied finishes. In 1/72 scale, these identifiers and their placement on the fin and fuselage sides define the character of a Hayate model, especially when paired with a weathered or late-war finish.

For modelers, this set is useful if you plan to build several Ki-84 projects or want choice among different late-war unit contexts. It is listed as universal, so it can be applied to compatible 1/72 Ki-84 kits. Because the options include multiple small identifiers and variant notes that require careful placement and reference planning, this set is generally more comfortable for intermediate and advanced builders.
