FAQs

What scale are these decals?

These decals are designed for 1/35 scale models.

What units are included in the decal set?

The set includes decals for German Africa Corps, Military Police, and Waffen SS.

Do I need any special tools to apply these decals?

You'll need tweezers, a soft cloth or cotton swab, and potentially a setting solution.

How do I remove excess water after applying the decal?

Gently dab the decal with a soft cloth or cotton swab to remove excess water.

What is a setting solution, and do I need it?

A setting solution helps the decal conform to the model's surface and can improve the final result, especially on uneven surfaces. It is recommended but not always required.

How long should I let the decals dry?

Allow the decals to dry completely before handling or applying any further finishing touches.

Can I apply these decals over a matte or gloss finish?

It is generally recommended to apply decals over a gloss coat to prevent silvering. After the decals are applied, a matte coat can be applied to blend everything together.

Troubleshooting

Decal won't release from the backing paper.

Soak the decal in lukewarm water for a few more seconds. Make sure the water is not too hot.

Decal tears during application.

Handle the decal with extra care using tweezers. If a tear occurs, try to carefully reposition the pieces or use a setting solution to blend it.

Decal has silvering (air bubbles).

Use a setting solution to help the decal conform to the surface and eliminate air bubbles. Gently press down with a soft cloth.
