Sweden Rally Decal

The Sweden Rally in 1:32 scale, with the precision of Atalaya Decals

The reference ADP02 from Atalaya Decals brings to your workbench the spirit of the only rally in the world championship held entirely on snow and ice. A water slide decal set specifically designed for 1:32 scale that includes the rally plates and characteristic numbers of the Swedish event, with print clarity that keeps logos and sponsor details legible even in the smallest sizes.

Set contents and print quality

The ADP02 set includes:

• Official rally plates from the Sweden Rally.
• Characteristic numbers of the event.

The high-definition printing ensures that each element maintains its visual fidelity once applied to the model's body. The decal backing facilitates handling and adhesion on complex surfaces, including curves, reducing the risk of bubbles or tears during application.

Application and compatibility

As these are water slide decals, the application process is standard in modelling: cut the decal, briefly submerge it in water, slide it onto the prepared surface, and adjust it with a soft cloth. For the best results on 1:32 slot car body surfaces, it is recommended to:

• Apply a layer of matte or satin varnish before placing the decals to facilitate sliding and adhesion.
• Use decal softeners (like Micro Sol or equivalent) in raised areas to ensure the decal conforms perfectly to the contours.
• Seal with another layer of varnish once dry to protect them from wear and regular handling on track.

The Sweden Rally: historical context for the modeller

The Sweden Rally is one of the oldest and most iconic events on the WRC calendar, with its first editions in the 1950s. Its uniqueness lies in the extreme conditions of snow and compacted ice that define each stage: cars roar over white-covered forest roads with studded tyres, leaning on snowbanks to take corners in a technique that very few master. This unique character makes the Swedish livery one of the most recognisable and sought after among slot rally and modelling enthusiasts.

Ideal for…

• 1:32 scale slot modellers who want to customise their cars with an authentic winter rally livery.
• Collectors looking to faithfully reproduce a real competition vehicle in their dioramas or display cases.
• Static model and figure enthusiasts who want to incorporate elements of Nordic rally culture into their work.

Frequently asked questions

What scale are these decals designed for?

The ADP02 decals from Atalaya Decals are specifically designed for 1:32 scale, the most common in the slot and rally modelling world.

Are they water slide decals or adhesive?

They are water slide decals. They are applied by briefly moistening them and sliding them onto the prepared surface, allowing for a more precise fit than conventional adhesive decals.

Do I need any additional products to apply them correctly?

It is not essential, but it is recommended to use a base varnish before application and a decal softener for raised areas. A final sealing with varnish helps protect the result.

Can I use them on static model bodies as well as on slot cars?

Yes. Being standard water slide decals, they are compatible with any body in 1:32 scale, whether from a slot car or a static model, as long as the surface is clean and properly primed.

Does the set include numbers and plates for multiple cars or just for one?

The available information indicates that the set includes rally plates and numbers from the Swedish event. To know the exact number of repetitions or cars it covers, please refer to the image of the set in the listing.
