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.
