The GetSpeed livery from the 24H Daytona 2026 arrives at your workshop in 1:32 scale with all the fidelity it deserves.
This water slide decal set from JVart (ref. jvart25343) accurately reproduces the complete decoration of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 from the GetSpeed team that competed in the 2026 edition of the 24 Hours of Daytona. Specifically designed to fit the bodies from the manufacturer NSR in 1:32 scale, these decals are a solid option for both collectors seeking uniqueness in their displays and club racers wanting an easily identifiable car on the track.
Features and Highlights
- Ultra-thin carrier film: minimizes the edge step behind the layers of varnish, achieving an almost perfect visual integration with the body.
- Total colour opacity: the whites, blacks, and corporate tones of the GetSpeed team completely cover the base colour without transparency or distortion.
- High elasticity: compatible with standard softeners and fixatives on the market, making it easier to adjust to the sharp curves, air intakes, and widened wheel arches of the GT3.
- Clarity in sponsors and logos: small texts and graphics maintain their definition without fuzzy edges or loss of detail.
- 1:32 scale: proportions calculated based on NSR moulds for a result true to reality without additional modifications.
Fit and Compatibility with NSR Bodies
Each graphic element of this set has been scaled directly referencing the dimensions of the NSR body of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 at 1:32. This ensures that the window frames, body lines, and colour blocks fall exactly where they should, without the need for cutting or additional adjustments. When applied to the lightweight polycarbonate body of NSR, the set does not add any appreciable weight to the top of the model, so the dynamic behaviour on the track —taking advantage of the high-performance Anglewinder chassis from NSR— remains intact.
Recommended Application Process
- Prepare the body by cleaning any grease or dust residue with a lint-free cloth.
- Apply a base coat of semi-matte or gloss varnish according to your preference before the decals.
- Soak each decal in warm water for 15 to 30 seconds, until it slides freely from the backing paper.
- Place the decal in position and remove excess water with a cotton swab or soft cloth.
- Use a standard decal softener (such as Micro Sol or similar) to adapt the film to the curved and aerodynamic surfaces.
- Once completely dry, seal with two or three coats of varnish to protect the decoration and unify the finish.
Ideal for…
- Slot collectors looking for a distinctive and recognisable endurance livery.
- Club racers participating in endurance championships who need a differentiated car on track.
- Static model enthusiasts working with 1:32 scale GT3 kits who want to reproduce the official decoration.
- American endurance racing fans following the IMSA championship and the Daytona International Speedway.
Points to Consider
This set is designed for the NSR bodies of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 at 1:32 scale. Although the application technique is standard for water slide decals, prior experience in model decoration is recommended before working on slot car bodies, given the small size of the parts and the precision required in some areas. JVart does not include protective varnish in the set; it is recommended to purchase it separately from brands like Vallejo or Tamiya to ensure the durability of the finish.
The Race: 24 Hours of Daytona 2026 and the GetSpeed Team
The Daytona International Speedway is one of the most demanding and charismatic circuits on the endurance calendar. Its combination of high-speed banked oval with the inner chicane section turns each edition of the 24 Hours into a top-tier technical and strategic test for teams and drivers. The German GetSpeed team arrived at the 2026 edition with the Mercedes-AMG GT3 competing in the GTD category, facing a highly skilled field and the changing conditions typical of a long-distance night race. The team's livery, which combines colour blocks with well-structured sponsor graphics, quickly became one of the most sought-after decorations among slot enthusiasts and GT racing collectors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these decals compatible with bodies from brands other than NSR?
The set is specifically sized for the NSR bodies of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 at 1:32. Although the application technique is universal, the proportions and placement of the graphics are optimised for that specific body. Misalignments may occur on moulds from other manufacturers in the perimeter lines or logos.
Do I need any special materials to apply these water slide decals?
No exclusive tools are necessary. Warm water, a standard decal softener (like Micro Sol or equivalents from Vallejo or Tamiya), a cotton swab, and finishing varnish are sufficient to achieve a professional result.
Does the set include all the decals needed to decorate the complete body?
Yes, the set is designed to dress the complete body of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 with the GetSpeed team decoration for the 24H Daytona 2026, including logos, sponsors, body lines, and competition numbers according to the product information. Check the images in the listing to verify the exact content of the sheet.
Does applying decals affect the car's performance on the slot track?
Water slide decals add minimal and practically negligible weight, especially at this scale. When correctly applied and sealed, they do not alter the balance or functional aerodynamics of the model. The cornering performance and stability of the NSR Anglewinder chassis remain unchanged.
What type of varnish should I use to seal the decals once applied?
An acrylic spray varnish from brands like Vallejo or Tamiya is recommended, in either gloss or semi-matte finish depending on the desired visual result. Apply at least two thin coats to protect the decoration from wear and regular handling of the model.
Is this product suitable for someone starting in model slot decoration?
Water slide decals are the most accessible technique for decorating scale models, but the small 1:32 scale requires some precision. If you are just starting, we recommend practicing the technique on scrap pieces before working directly on the final body.
This JVart water slide decals set (ref. jvart25343) faithfully reproduces the livery of the GetSpeed Mercedes-AMG GT3 that competed in the 24 Hours of Daytona 2026, scaled at 1:32 and tailored to fit NSR bodies. Ultra-thin film, full colour opacity and excellent flexibility make these decals a top choice for slot car racers and scale model collectors seeking a professional, competition-accurate finish on their GT3 endurance builds.
