Print Scale 72-486 Decal 1:72 WWII-era German Air Force 1940-45 insignia. Winkel. The complete set 1.5 leaf

Print Scale 72-486 Waterslide Decals are a 1/72 scale insignia sheet dedicated to WWII-era German Air Force 1940–1945 “Winkel” marking elements. This set is intended for WWII-era German aircraft projects where you need consistent orientation chevrons and related identification shapes in a uniform style across multiple builds.

“Winkel” markings are commonly associated with late-war WWII-era German Air Force identification practices and are often seen on aircraft used for night operations, training, or other roles where simplified, high-contrast identifiers were applied. This sheet is designed as a flexible insignia resource rather than a single aircraft profile set.

For modelers, this product works well when your kit decals are missing, out of register, or when you want matching Winkel elements across several WWII-era German Air Force subjects. It is listed as universal for 1/72 aircraft plastic model kits and can be combined with unit codes, serials, and national markings from other decal sheets. Scale: 1/72 (also written as 1:72).

FAQ

Is Print Scale 72-486 a specific aircraft marking set?

No. This product is an insignia sheet focused on WWII-era German Air Force 1940–1945 “Winkel” marking elements, intended to support multiple aircraft projects.

Can these decals be used with any 1/72 WWII-era German Air Force aircraft kit?

Yes. The set is listed as universal for 1/72 scale aircraft kits. Choose sizes that match your reference scheme and your kit’s available space.

Do I need a separate sheet for codes and serials?

Often, yes. This set is intended primarily for Winkel-style insignia elements, so unit codes, serial numbers, or specific aircraft identifiers may be sourced from another decal sheet depending on your project.

What is the best surface prep for sharp, high-contrast insignia?

Apply decals on a smooth gloss coat to reduce silvering, then seal with a clear coat once fully dry. Setting solutions can be used according to modeler preference.
