About product

What the sheet offers

This is a decal sheet in 1:144 scale with the markings of the US Air Force, that is an accessory for a kit. The small scale places high demands on decals: the insignia, numbers and lettering are tiny and the printed film has to be thin so that it does not stand out on the surface of the model like a sticker. What exactly the sheet carries and in what sizes is given in the enclosed manufacturer's instructions.

How to apply the decals

Before you dip the sheet, check the instructions to see whether it is not a self-adhesive version. A self-adhesive film that has been dipped is ruined beyond repair, whereas a wet decal that has not been dipped can be dipped later. With a wet decal the usual procedure then applies: cut the element out close to the artwork, immerse it for a few seconds in lukewarm water and let it stand on the paper until the film moves freely. The base should be glossy; on matte paint a silvery veil forms under the film.

Tips for working in a small scale

Transfer the small elements with smooth-jawed tweezers and align them with a damp brush, not with the tip of the tweezers. Blot the surplus water away with a cloth from the center toward the edges and use a decal softener to draw the decal into the engraved lines. A film that has dried cannot be moved any more; it tears. Finish the work by unifying it with a clear coat.

FAQ

The decal sheet itself. The kit and varnishes are not included, unless stated otherwise.

Check the instructions first. With a wet decal the element is soaked in lukewarm water, but dipping would ruin a self-adhesive film beyond repair.

On gloss varnish. On a matte surface a silvery veil forms under the film, and it is hard to remove afterwards.
