DECAL SYSTEM
Each decal sheet is LASER full colour printed on 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 1: a decal that contains a large white section is often split in two parts. To apply the full decal marking, first set the white decal section at correct position and than 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 model surfaces, the white section may not be needed).
Note 2: sometimes a white edge is unavoidable on a specific decal; remove the tiny white edge with fine scissors or overpaint the edge later on the model.
Note 3: please be aware these are hobby custom decals of subjects often not available, not commercial decals.
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.
IMPORTANT: Please do not expect excellent "Cartograph" like quality! These decals are home made laser printed and of rare subjects for which no large series printed commercial decals are available!

A Dutch DC-3 was used in the Dutch movie “Dakota Airlines” released in 1974. The film was directed by Verstappen with Pim de la Parra as producer. An aviator, played by the Dutch actor Kees Brusse, runs a one-man business “Dakota Airlines” on Curaҫao island in The
