Print Scale 72-484 Decal Supermarine Walrus Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-484 waterslide decals are designed for 1/72 scale aircraft models of the Supermarine Walrus. This sheet provides multiple marking options for the Walrus I amphibious seaplane, including ship-based Royal Navy aircraft as well as post-war service examples from other operators.

The Supermarine Walrus was used for maritime reconnaissance, shipboard spotting, and utility duties, often operating from cruisers and other naval vessels. Because ship-based seaplanes could carry distinctive codes and aircraft identifiers tied to specific ships or flights, a dedicated decal sheet helps modelers reproduce a clearly documented Walrus subject.

For modelers, this set is listed as universal and can be used with any compatible 1/72 Supermarine Walrus plastic model kit. Due to the aircraft’s multi-surface layout (hull, wings, struts, and floats) and the need to align codes across curved areas, this sheet is generally recommended for advanced builders.

FAQ

Is this decal sheet only for wartime Walrus aircraft?

No. Several options are pre-war (1937–1938) and others are post-war (1945–1948 and late 1940s), in addition to WWII-era context for the aircraft type.

Can these decals be used with any 1/72 Supermarine Walrus kit?

Yes. The set is listed as universal. Matching the selected option to your kit’s Walrus I configuration and equipment details is recommended.

Do the options include non-UK operators?

Yes. The sheet includes options listed for French naval aviation and the Argentine Navy, alongside Royal Navy-related subjects.

What helps with decal placement on the hull and curved surfaces?

Many modelers apply decals over a gloss coat, use small amounts of setting solution where needed, and seal the markings with a clear coat after drying to reduce silvering on curved areas.
