1:72 D.H. Vampire One-seaters (wet decals)

De Havilland Vampire single-seat versions 1:72 — Print Scale waterslide decals

The D.H. Vampire single-seat versions set holds high-quality waterslide decals in 1:72 scale from Print Scale. This is not a kit; these are the decals alone, for marking and finishing your single-seat Vampire model.

The real subject

The de Havilland Vampire was a British early jet fighter with a characteristic short fuselage nacelle and a twin-boom tail. It was powered by a centrifugal-flow turbojet and was among the first production jet fighters in Royal Air Force service. In its single-seat form it served as a fighter and a fighter-bomber and was exported to a number of countries.

How to use the waterslide decals

• Coat the area under the decal with a gloss varnish to limit silvering.
• Dip the decal briefly in lukewarm water and slide it onto the model.
• Use a decal softener so that it settles onto the uneven surface.
• Once dry, seal it with a matte or semi-gloss varnish.

Who the set is for

• Modelers of the early jet era in 1:72 scale.
• Modelers interested in British and foreign Vampire markings.
• Those looking for better decals than the ones in the box.

The package holds decals only. The airplane model, paints and glue are not included.
