Historical Background and Application of the Decals

The Finnish Air Force used a distinctive swastika symbol (not related to Nazi Germany) as its official national insignia from 1918 to 1945. In the later phase of World War II (years 1944-1945, after the armistice with the USSR), under Allied pressure, the Finnish Air Force was forced to remove the traditional swastika markings from combat aircraft, replacing them with modified versions featuring a gray background or camouflage colors. This decal set allows for accurate depiction of late-war markings on Finnish fighter and reconnaissance aircraft (e.g., Morane-Saulnier MS.406, Brewster B-239, Messerschmitt Bf 109G).
