Application and Use
Water-slide decals — the most common format for this type of accessory — are applied easily: the decal is moistened, slid onto the painted surface, and fixed with a finishing product. The result is a clean, uniform finish that adheres to the bodywork, without the "floating film" effect that can ruin the realism of a model.
To achieve the best result, we recommend working on a glossy paint base and using a decal setting solution that helps conform the decal to the curves and contours of the bodywork. Brands like Vallejo, Tamiya, or Ammo offer specific products for this step.
Ideal for…
- Modellers looking to give a police-themed finish to their miniatures or scale cars.
- Slot enthusiasts who want to customise the decoration of their bodies.
- Diorama builders with road scenes, chases, or traffic control.
Frequently Asked Questions
What scale are these decals?
The provided information does not specify the exact scale. If you have doubts about compatibility with your model, we recommend contacting us before placing your order.
How are water-slide decals applied?
The decal is cut with a minimal margin, submerged in warm water for a few seconds, slid onto the surface, and adjusted with a cotton swab. Once dry, it is sealed with matte or glossy varnish depending on the desired finish.
Do I need any additional products to fix them?
It is not essential, but using a decal setting solution (such as Microsol or equivalents from Vallejo or Tamiya) improves adhesion and eliminates air bubbles, especially on textured or contoured surfaces.
Are they compatible with any painted bodywork?
Yes, as long as the surface is clean, dry, and preferably gloss varnished before applying the decal. On very matte finishes, the edge of the decal may remain visible.
