1-300 German Reich White Swastika Decals

1-300 German Reich White Tail Markings
These 1-300 WWII German aircraft tail-marking decals reproduce a white/light-colored swastika-form tail insignia used on some Luftwaffe aircraft for contrast against darker camouflage or tail finishes. The marking was a political emblem of Nazi Germany and is reproduced here strictly as a historical aircraft-identification detail for scale modeling.
During the Luftwaffe period, the swastika was normally carried on the vertical tail or rudder, separate from the Balkenkreuz national crosses on the wings and fuselage. Black forms, black forms with white edging, white forms, and simplified outline treatments can all be found in period photographs depending on aircraft type, camouflage, date, and factory practice.
Light-colored tail markings were particularly useful on dark tail surfaces, night-fighter schemes, and heavily mottled camouflage where a black insignia would have had limited contrast. Late-war repainting and field-applied camouflage also produced considerable variation in how the marking appeared.
Tail insignia of this general type could be seen on aircraft such as the Bf 109, Fw 190, Ju 88, He 111, Do 217, Me 410, Me 262, He 219, and many other Luftwaffe aircraft, but the exact color and outline should always be checked against the chosen subject.
