Techmod 48102 - US National Insignia 1919-1942 (1/48)

The Techmod 48102 - US National Insignia 1919-1942 in 1/48 scale decal set is an essential addition for any aircraft modeler building American military aircraft from the interwar period and the early stage of World War II. The product includes historical United States national markings used from August 1919 to May 1942, covering a key moment in the development of US aviation as well as the period before and at the start of America's participation in WWII.

Accurate reproduction of historical markings

This decal sheet, produced by the renowned company Techmod, allows you to apply emblems with diameters of 20, 24, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, and 60 inches, covering the full range of dimensions used in US military aviation on various types of aircraft—from fighters and bombers to trainers. The decals precisely reproduce the classic round emblem: a white star on a blue background, without the red center (the type used before changes introduced after the attack on Pearl Harbor).

Historical information and application

The National Insignia markings appeared on aircraft such as the Boeing P-26 Peashooter, Curtiss P-36 Hawk, North American B-25 Mitchell, and many other machines used by the US Army both in peacetime and during the first years of the war. This type of marking was officially used until May 1942, before the introduction of the now familiar red center and subsequent modifications.
