Water Decals Peugeot 306 Maxi François Delecour Rally Mont-Blanc Scale 1/32

The livery of Delecour at Mont-Blanc, reproduced with millimetric fidelity at 1/32 scale

This water slide decal set from JVart accurately reproduces the spectacular decoration displayed by the Peugeot 306 Maxi driven by François Delecour with the number 5 in the Rally Mont-Blanc. Specifically designed for 1/32 scale, they fit precisely to the widened wheel arches, aerodynamic lines, and characteristic curved surfaces of this body, both in slot projects and static models.

Features of the decal set

• Scale: 1/32, designed for slot car bodies and models of this size.
• Ultra-thin film: very low thickness support that, once the final protective varnish is applied, integrates with the background paint without silvering effects or visible edges.
• Opaque colours: the printing ensures good coverage of light tones on dark backgrounds, with a colour registration adjusted so that logos and stripes fit together.
• Controlled elasticity: the material effortlessly conforms to complex surfaces —bonnet grilles, spoilers, bumpers— without generating bubbles or wrinkles.
• Individual cutting: each element is precisely cut to eliminate excess transparent support burrs.
• Compatible with softeners: reacts correctly to standard decal setting and softening products (Vallejo, Tamiya, etc.).

Step-by-step application for a professional result

Achieving a clean finish depends on both the decal and the prior preparation. Here are the recommended steps:

1. Apply a glossy paint base, completely dry and free of dust.
2. Carefully cut each element and soak it in warm water for a few seconds until the film separates from the backing paper.
3. Slide the decal onto the wet surface; in this state, it still allows for positional corrections before it is permanently fixed.
4. Use a decal softener to settle the edges over the more curved areas and eliminate any possible bubbles.
5. Allow to dry completely before applying the final protective varnish, which will seal the decoration against track wear or continuous handling.

Ideal for slot cars and static models

In the world of 1/32 scale slot racing, the livery is one of the elements that most differentiates a body from the rest. These decals allow you to customise a white body, restore a damaged decoration, or faithfully replicate the appearance of the 306 Maxi as it competed in Mont-Blanc. They are also very suitable for static models and dioramas where historical accuracy and visual quality are priorities.

History: Delecour and the 306 Maxi return to the alpine stages

The decoration reproduced in this kit pays tribute to a very special moment in contemporary French motorsport. In the 2021 Rallye du Mont-Blanc Morzine, the Sébastien Loeb Racing team organised a demonstration that thrilled the fans present on the stages: the legendary François Delecour, co-driven by Jean-Rodolphe Guigonnet, returned to the controls of an original Peugeot 306 Maxi Kit Car from the late nineties.

The car bore the number 5 and a modern, aggressive design that combined the spirit of the golden age of two-litre atmospheric engines with current sponsors. Seeing and hearing Delecour extract over 8,500 rpm from the engine on the alpine stages became one of the most remembered exhibitions of European motorsport of that decade. This JVart decal kit captures exactly that livery, so you can apply it to your 1/32 scale body.

Frequently asked questions

Are these decals compatible with any 1/32 scale 306 Maxi body?

They are specifically designed for 1/32 scale and the proportions of the Peugeot 306 Maxi. If your body respects that scale and geometry, the fit should be correct. Check the dimensions of your body before applying them, especially on the sides and the bonnet.

Do I need any special product to apply them?

It is not essential, but it is recommended to use a decal softener (like Vallejo or Tamiya) for areas with greater curvature. Working on a glossy paint base significantly improves the final result and reduces the risk of silvering.

Can I use them on club racing slot car bodies?

Yes. Their ultra-thin film and good adhesion on painted surfaces make them suitable for both club cars and collection projects. Once sealed with varnish, they withstand regular use on track.

Do the decals include all elements of the original decoration?

The set reproduces the sponsors, numbers, and decorations of the vehicle's livery as it appears in the product information. To confirm the exact content of each sheet, please refer to the product images.

How long should I leave them in water before applying?

Generally, about 15-30 seconds in warm water is sufficient, until the film begins to slide off the backing paper. Do not leave them soaking for too long to avoid the film bending.

Can they be adjusted once placed on the body?

Yes, while the surface is still wet, you can gently adjust the position. Once the water is absorbed or evaporates, the fixing is permanent, so work calmly and have a wet brush on hand for last-minute corrections.
