Print Scale 72-519 Decal F-4B Phantom II US Navy VF-84 (Jolly Rogers) Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit for Hasegawa, Academy, Fujimi, Revell

Print Scale 72-519 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1/72 scale aircraft models of the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II in US Navy VF-84 “Jolly Rogers” markings. The set focuses on carrier-based presentation details such as squadron insignia, modex numbers, tail codes, national markings, and airframe stenciling for specific aircraft identified by Bureau Numbers.

VF-84 operated the Phantom II across the 1960s and 1970s, and the options listed for this sheet reflect a mix of deployments and ship associations recorded for that era. The included subjects cover primarily F-4B aircraft, and the option list also includes one F-4J example, which is useful if your project aims to represent a later VF-84 Phantom configuration.

For modelers, this sheet is well suited to detailed 1/72 Phantom builds where correct placement of multi-part markings matters. It is compatible with common 1/72 F-4 Phantom II kits and is particularly relevant to kits from the brands listed by the seller. Because carrier aircraft markings often include many small stencils and repeated codes, this set is best suited to experienced builders. Scale note: 1/72 (also written as 1:72).
