Decal Information

This waterslide flight-deck decal reproduces the printed deck color and markings as part of the decal itself. Apply it to a smooth, prepared surface and seal after placement for the best finished appearance.

Model Compatibility

This 1-2400 scale deck decal is sized for the Viking Forge Admiral Kuznetsov model. Miniatures from other manufacturers may differ in deck dimensions, weapons placement, or superstructure footprint, so test-fit before application.

Historical Information

Admiral Kuznetsov was commissioned into Soviet service in 1991 and became Russia's sole completed aircraft carrier after the breakup of the Soviet Union. Designed as a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser, the ship combined fixed-wing naval aviation with a heavy missile armament; its long-running overhaul was suspended in 2025, and its future remained unresolved in 2026.
