1:72 Alpha Jet E Belgian Air Force and Armeé de l´Air part 3

Alpha Jet E in 1:72 scale - decals, part 3

A sheet for a model of the two-seat Alpha Jet jet trainer and light attack aircraft in the E version, with markings of the Belgian and French air forces. It is the third part of the series; it is followed by further parts and by a version for the larger scale, each under its own code.

Why reach for a separate sheet

In 1:72 scale the model is small and the markings on it matter a great deal; often they are the only thing that tells two otherwise identical machines apart. A separate sheet gives a wider choice than the decals supplied with a kit and is usually printed more finely, so even small lettering stays legible.

Application step by step

Before you wet the sheet, check in the instructions whether it is an adhesive version; wetted adhesive film cannot be saved. With a waterslide decal, prepare the base with gloss varnish. Cut the element out close to the print, dip it in lukewarm water for a few seconds and let it rest until it releases from the paper. Move it onto the model, line it up, blot the excess water away and let it dry thoroughly. A decal softener will pull the decal down into recessed lines. Finally, seal the model with a matte varnish so that the gloss area around the markings disappears.

The box holds a decal sheet. The model, paints, varnishes and decal softener are not included, unless stated otherwise.
