Print Scale 72-503 Decal AEG C.IV Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-503 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1/72 scale models of the AEG C.IV two-seat reconnaissance aircraft. This sheet includes a mix of WWI-era subjects plus one postwar trainer option, giving modelers several historically documented identities to choose from.

The AEG C.IV served with German military aviation during World War I in reconnaissance and support roles, and it appeared in multiple production batches with different serial ranges and unit practices. The marking options in this set reflect factory-applied finishes, unit identifiers, and a postwar operator example.

For modelers, this set is useful when you want an AEG C.IV build with a specific serial and unit context instead of generic crosses only. It is listed as universal for 1/72 AEG C.IV kits; for best results, match your kit details to the chosen subject and plan the placement of larger tail and fuselage markings before adding smaller serial elements. Scale: 1/72 (also written as 1:72).

FAQ

How many marking options are included in Print Scale 72-503?

This set includes seven marking options, including WWI German subjects and one postwar Netherlands trainer option.

Does this sheet include prototype or experimental references?

Yes. One option (C.1042/16) is described in the notes as a possible prototype-related airframe; it is presented as “possible” rather than a confirmed identification.

Will these decals work with any 1/72 AEG C.IV kit?

The set is listed as universal for 1/72 scale. Before applying, compare the placement guide to your kit’s fuselage and tail surfaces, especially where serials and unit marks need consistent spacing.

What makes WWI two-seat markings more challenging?

Many WWI subjects use small serial characters and unit symbols over fabric and bracing detail. A smooth gloss coat and applying markings in stages help keep alignment clean.
