FAQs
What scale is this decal set for?

What model kit is this designed for?
It is designed for the Tamiya 1:48 scale McDonnell F-4B Phantom plastic model kit.
Do I need to buy the model kit separately?
Yes, the model kit is not included with the decals. You will need to purchase the Tamiya 1:48 F-4B Phantom kit separately.
What extra tools will I need?
You will need standard modeling tools such as a hobby knife, tweezers, water, cotton swabs, and preferably decal setting and softening solutions.
Can these decals be used on other brands of F-4B kits?
While primarily designed for Tamiya kits, they may fit other 1:48 F-4B Phantom kits with minor adjustments. Test fitment is recommended.
How do I ensure the best finish?
Apply decals to a clean, gloss-coated surface. Use decal setting and softening solutions to help them conform perfectly to the model's details. Allow ample drying time before sealing with a clear coat.
What does 'Good Morning Da Nang' refer to?
'Good Morning Da Nang' is the specific name of the livery represented by these decals, associated with a particular F-4B Phantom aircraft during the Vietnam War.
Troubleshooting
Decals won't adhere properly
Ensure the model surface is clean, smooth, and has a gloss clear coat applied. Use decal setting solution to improve adhesion.
Decals silvering (air bubbles trapped under decal)
Apply decal setting solution before placing the decal and a softening solution after positioning to help it conform. Ensure all air is pushed out from under the decal with a cotton swab.
Decals tear during application
Handle decals with extreme care using tweezers. Ensure they are sufficiently wet before attempting to move them. Use a sharp, fresh blade for cutting.
Decals won't conform to panel lines
Use a decal softening solution (like Micro Sol) and a small brush to gently encourage the decal to wrinkle and then settle into the panel lines. Be patient, as this may require multiple applications.
