Kawanishi E7K Type 94 Alf 1:72 — Print Scale waterslide decals

The Kawanishi E7K Type 94 Alf set holds high-quality waterslide decals in 1:72 scale from Print Scale. This is not a kit; these are the decals alone, for marking and finishing your model of this Japanese floatplane.

The real subject

The Kawanishi E7K Type 94 was a Japanese reconnaissance float biplane used by the Imperial Japanese Navy from the 1930s and in the early phases of the Second World War. It operated from ships and from coastal bases and carried out reconnaissance and observation duties. With the Allies it was listed under the code name Alf. The machines carried Japanese naval markings and the color schemes of the period.

How to use the waterslide decals

• Coat the area under the decal with a gloss varnish to limit silvering.
• Dip the decal briefly in lukewarm water and slide it onto the model.
• Use a decal softener so that it settles onto the uneven surface.
• Once dry, unify the surface with a matte varnish.

Who the set is for

• Modelers of Japanese naval equipment of the 1930s and the Second World War in 1:72.
• Modelers interested in the markings of reconnaissance floatplanes.
• Those looking for better decals than the ones in the box.

The package holds decals only. The airplane model, paints and glue are not included.
