Can 1/48 fighter swastikas work as 1/72 bomber swastikas?

Modeling Subjects Aircraft

My Ju 290 kits are awesome, but are missing one thing that’s very important for the subject matter. Because it’s illegal to print the swastika in Europe no decals are provided for them in the kit. Now, with other kits this wouldn’t be a problem- aftermarket decals. But while 1/72 fighter swastikas are made, no luck with bombers. So, I had a thought.

Are 1/48 fighter swastikas (which are produced) the same size as bomber swastikas in 1/72? It would really help if they were even close. (I know swastikas varied sizes from aircraft to aircraft.)

Thank you for any help.

There’s probably more out there. Remember at Greatmodels the German countries have a period insted of a dash between the letters and numbers.

i’ve used 1/48 decals on a 1/35 model. It all depends on the size of the decals and how close they resemble the originals…you don’t want them to look too big or small…

I don’t know if they are in production, but maybe you can find Techmod 1/72 swastikas, in one sheet you can find swastikas for many fighters and bombers
