Decal Information
This 1-3000 scale waterslide decal reproduces the deck markings for the Japanese Ōsumi-class LST during that period of time. Customers report that most decals fit Davco ship castings fairly well. Apply over a properly prepared and gloss-coated model surface using normal waterslide-decal techniques.
 
Historical Information
The three Ōsumi-class ships entered service beginning in 1998 and are officially classified as tank landing ships. Their large through-deck appearance supports helicopter operations, while a stern well deck carries landing craft air cushion vehicles for amphibious lift. The class also provides substantial vehicle, cargo, troop, and disaster-relief capacity.
