Type 42 Sheffield Class DDG 1-2400

Decal Information
The decal reproduces the visible deck and helicopter-deck markings for the Type 42 Sheffield class and is printed on a clear background so the modeler's painted deck color remains visible. The deck markings and hull numbers should be cut and positioned carefully to match the miniature.
 
Model Compatibility
Miniatures from other manufacturers may differ in deck dimensions, weapons placement, or superstructure footprint, so test-fit before application.
 
Historical Information
The Type 42 destroyers were designed around the Sea Dart missile system to provide fleet air defense at lower cost than the larger Type 82. The class served through the Falklands War, Gulf conflicts, and numerous NATO deployments before the final Royal Navy ships retired in 2013.
