Elevate your 1/48 scale aircraft models with premium waterslide decals from Fundekals, the specialist in historically accurate aviation markings. This comprehensive collection features subject-specific sheets for iconic aircraft including F-4 Phantom, P-38 Lightning, F4U Corsair, F6F Hellcat, F-104 Starfighter, and MiG-25, plus essential national insignia sets covering Stars and Bars variations from 1919 through modern eras, complete stencil data, service titles, and multi-scale striping in black, red, yellow, silver, and day-glo. Each sheet delivers exceptional print quality, perfect register, and authentic colors for museum-quality finishing.
Fundekals has earned its reputation among discerning scale modelers through unwavering commitment to historical accuracy, exceptional print quality, and comprehensive research. Unlike generic decal manufacturers that recycle the same subjects repeatedly, Fundekals specializes in filling gaps in the aftermarket with carefully researched markings for specific aircraft, squadrons, and time periods that major manufacturers overlook. Each sheet undergoes rigorous verification against primary source materials including official technical orders, period photographs, and surviving aircraft to ensure authentic colors, correct fonts, and accurate placement guides.
The printing process employs state-of-the-art digital technology combined with traditional screen printing techniques to achieve vibrant, opaque colors with crisp edges and perfect register. The carrier film remains thin and flexible, conforming to complex surface contours without silvering when properly applied with setting solutions. Colors match Federal Standard specifications and period-correct shades, ensuring your finished model accurately represents its historical subject rather than approximating it with close-enough alternatives.
The F-4 Phantom collection provides comprehensive coverage for this legendary fighter-bomber with both Factory Stencils and Depot Stencils sheets, capturing the differences between freshly delivered aircraft and those returning from depot-level maintenance. The F-4C MiG Hunters sheet celebrates specific Vietnam War aircraft that achieved aerial victories, featuring accurate nose art, kill markings, and squadron insignia for these historic machines.
Corsair enthusiasts will find multiple options including the Corsairs Whistling Death sheet with distinctive markings, USMC F4U Corsairs featuring Marine Corps schemes, USNR Corsairs and Hellcats covering Naval Reserve aircraft, and the specialized F4U/FG-1D Ammo Cans detail set that adds authentic ammunition box markings often missing from kit decals. The F6F-5 Hellcats sheet provides markings for the Navy's premier carrier fighter in its definitive variant.
Lockheed twin-boom fighters receive thorough treatment with P-38 E/F/G/H Lightnings covering early and mid-production variants, complemented by the P-38F/G/H Stencils sheet providing two complete sets of maintenance and operational markings. The exotic F5F Skyrocket sheet offers markings for Grumman's experimental twin-engine carrier fighter, a rare subject seldom covered by aftermarket producers.
Cold War subjects include F-104J/DJ Stencils for Japanese Air Self-Defense Force Starfighters, MiG-25 Bort Numbers providing authentic Soviet tactical numbering systems, and NASA T-38s featuring the space agency's distinctive markings on these astronaut training jets. The Rhodesian Hunters sheet documents the Hawker Hunter operations during the Rhodesian Bush War, while Sea Furies Pt 2 continues coverage of this powerful post-war fighter.
World War II subjects extend beyond fighters with Pearl Harbor Defenders covering the aircraft that faced the December 7th attack, and Meet Peter-47 focusing on specific P-47 Thunderbolt markings. The Mersu Finnish Bf109G-2s/G-6s Meet sheet provides markings for Messerschmitt fighters in Finnish service, complete with the unique swastika insignia and tactical markings used by the Ilmavoimat.
Building an accurate American military aircraft requires correct national insignia for its specific time period and service branch. Fundekals offers comprehensive coverage with Stars and Bars Standard WWII for the classic red-outlined insignia used from mid-1943 through 1947, Stars and Bars Gray WWII for aircraft in overall gray schemes where white insignia would be too visible, and Stars and Bars 1947 Modern covering the post-war insignia still used today.
Earlier periods are documented with Stars No Bar 1919-1942 Meatball featuring the simple star insignia without bars or outlines, and Stars No Bar 1942-1943 covering the brief period when red outlines were added but bars had not yet appeared. These sheets allow modelers to accurately mark aircraft from Pearl Harbor, early Pacific campaigns, and the North African theater.
Service identification is provided through US Air Force Titles and USAF Titles sheets, offering the spelled-out and abbreviated forms in various sizes and fonts appropriate for different aircraft types and time periods. These seemingly simple markings are often incorrectly sized or positioned on kit decals, making accurate aftermarket alternatives essential for serious builders.
The multi-scale striping sheets provide essential detail elements that work across 1/24, 1/32, 1/48, and 1/72 scales. Black Stripes, Red Stripes, Yellow Stripes, Silver Stripes, and Day Glo Stripes offer straight-edge striping in various widths for anti-glare panels, rescue markings, formation lights, and decorative trim. These sheets eliminate the tedious masking and painting required for crisp, uniform stripes, delivering professional results in minutes.
The P&W Engine Logos sheet provides Pratt and Whitney manufacturer's logos in multiple scales for radial and turbine engines, adding authentic detail to engine cowlings and nacelles. These small but important markings distinguish factory-fresh aircraft and show attention to detail that separates museum-quality models from basic builds.

Fundekals decals respond well to standard application techniques using warm water and setting solutions. The thin carrier film requires careful handling but rewards modelers with superior conformability around rivets, panel lines, and compound curves. For best results, apply decals over gloss or semi-gloss surfaces, use setting solutions like Micro Sol or Solvaset for complex surfaces, and seal with a final clear coat to blend carrier film edges and protect the markings from handling and weathering effects.
Each Fundekals sheet includes comprehensive placement guides with multiple views, color callouts referencing Federal Standard and other paint systems, and historical notes explaining the significance of featured aircraft. This documentation transforms decal sheets into valuable research resources, providing context that enhances the modeling experience and ensures accurate representation of historical subjects. The placement guides account for variations between different kit manufacturers, helping modelers adapt the decals to their specific kit's panel line locations and surface details.
Serious modelers competing in IPMS contests and regional competitions rely on Fundekals for the accuracy and quality that judges expect at advanced levels. The correct fonts, accurate colors, and proper sizing demonstrate research and attention to detail that separate award-winning models from participation entries. Collectors building specific squadrons, units, or time periods appreciate the comprehensive coverage that allows them to represent entire flights or deployments with historically accurate markings rather than settling for generic alternatives.
