Tally Ho! 1:48 Siebel Si-204 D (decals)

The set from Tally Ho! brings waterslide decals (wet decals) in 1:48 scale for the German Siebel Si-204 D aircraft. It offers national insignia and markings for specific machines and serves as an accessory to a plastic kit; the airplane model itself is not included. The make-up of the schemes is given by the instructions enclosed.

The real subject

The Siebel Si-204 was a German twin-engine multipurpose aircraft of the Second World War, used above all as a liaison, transport and training machine, among other things for training bomber crews. The Si-204 D version was marked by a glazed nose and widened the possibilities of its deployment. The airplane was also built outside Germany and after the war its production continued under other designations, which is reflected in the variety of finishes that can be put onto a model.

Use

• Coat the surface under the decal with a gloss varnish for perfect adhesion
• Dip the decal briefly in lukewarm water and let it release from the backing
• Move it onto the model, set it in position and blot the excess water away
• Once dry, go over it with a matte or semi-gloss varnish

Who the set is for

The set will appeal to builders of German aircraft and to collectors who want to finish their Si-204 D in a specific, documented form. It suits modelers with basic experience of applying waterslide decals.
