DECAL SYSTEM
Each decal sheet has one continuous print film, so each decal needs to be cut out with fine scissors.
No other prior decal preparation is needed.
Each cut out decal can be applied as usual after soaking it a short while in water. Decals are VERY THIN, so slide off from the wet backing sheet on a horizontally held GLOSSY model surface.
Note that a decal that contains a white section is often split in two parts. To apply the full decal marking, first set the white decal section at correct position and on top of that the coloured section. On the decals sheet you will often see an “arrow” to indicate this way of application (on white under surfaces, the white section is optional).
After all decals have been applied, finish the model with your preferred final gloss, matt or semi-matt varnish coats. This will also protect all the decals.
