Martini decals

The Martini livery, ready to apply to your modelling or slot project

Few decorations evoke as much recognition among motorsport enthusiasts as the Martini livery: its red, blue, and green stripes on a white background have adorned some of the most legendary cars in the history of competition. With the Martini ADL0801 Decals from Atalaya Decals, you can transfer that iconic scheme to your own projects with precision and ease.

Features and presentation

These decals are of a generic type, meaning they are not tied to a specific body: they are designed to fit various customization projects on static models, figures, dioramas, or slot cars in scale. The reference ADL0801 identifies this set within the Atalaya Decals catalogue, making it easy to locate and replenish.

Applications

• Customisation of slot cars with Martini livery.
• Decoration of static models of competition cars.
• Setting up dioramas with motorsport vehicles.
• Repaints and customisations of diecast or resin miniatures.

Application tips

To achieve the best results with water slide decals like these, we recommend following these basic steps:

1. Ensure that the surface to be decorated is perfectly clean, dry, and, if possible, has a glossy varnish base coat (for example, using products from Vallejo, Tamiya, or Kaleido), which promotes adhesion and reduces the risk of silvering.
2. Carefully cut the decal, leaving the minimum margin possible around the design.
3. Soak the decal in lukewarm water for about 15-20 seconds until it slides easily off the backing paper.
4. Position it in place and remove excess water with a cotton swab or a soft cloth.
5. Once dry, apply a layer of finishing varnish (matte, satin, or glossy depending on the desired effect) to protect it and visually integrate it into the bodywork.

Ideal for…

Collectors and modellers looking to recreate the iconic Martini livery in their personal projects, without relying on a specific factory decoration. They are also very useful for club competitors who want to add a personalised touch to their slot cars with one of the most photographed decorations from the historical paddock.

Frequently asked questions

Are these decals specific to any particular car model?

No. They are generic decals with the Martini livery, allowing them to be applied to various bodies and projects, as long as the modeller adapts the trimming and placement to the desired surface.

Are they water slide decals?

The reference ADL0801 from Atalaya Decals corresponds to standard type decals for modelling. We recommend checking the packaging or product sheet to confirm the exact application system, although the usual process for this type of decal is water.

What scale are they designed for?

The available information on this reference does not specify a particular scale. As it is a generic decal, it is advisable to verify the dimensions of the set before applying it to ensure it fits your project.

Can I use them on both static models and slot cars?

Yes. This type of decal is compatible with both disciplines, provided the surface is properly prepared with a prior glossy varnish to ensure good adhesion and a clean finish.

What finishing varnish is recommended to use over the decals?

It depends on the final effect you are looking for. For competition cars with a realistic appearance, a satin varnish from brands like Vallejo or Tamiya usually works very well. If you prefer an exhibition finish, glossy varnish intensifies the colours and unifies the surface.
