Print Scale 72-505 Decal P-47 C/D Razorback Robert S. Jonson Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-505 waterslide decals are designed for 1/72 scale plastic model kits of the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt “Razorback”, covering early P-47C and P-47D variants. The sheet focuses on USAAF-style markings and individual aircraft identities suitable for WWII-era and immediate post-war display builds.

This set is produced for Scale 1/72 (also written as 1:72) and is intended to help modelers replicate period-correct codes, serials, and aircraft names associated with Razorback Thunderbolts in operational and unit contexts.

The P-47 Razorback family is known for its early canopy profile and robust fighter-bomber use in multiple theaters. In USAAF service, aircraft often carried prominent codes, serial presentations, and personal aircraft names that varied between units and timeframes.

For modelers: This decal set supports accurate squadron-style code layouts and individual aircraft identifiers. It is labeled as universal for 1/72 P-47 Razorback kits; best results are typically achieved with careful surface preparation and alignment of multi-part markings. Due to the density of small data and precise placement around panel lines, it is generally more suitable for experienced builders.
