Application and usage tips
To achieve the best results with these decals, we recommend following a careful process:
- Prepare the model's surface with a coat of gloss varnish (acrylic or synthetic) to facilitate adhesion and avoid silvering at the edges.
- Carefully cut out each decal, leaving the minimum margin possible around the decoration.
- Briefly soak in lukewarm water and slide the decal onto the wet surface of the model.
- Use decal softeners (such as those from Vallejo or Tamiya) on areas with sharp curves to adapt them without wrinkles.
- Once dry, apply a coat of finishing varnish (matte, satin, or gloss according to the historical reference) to protect and seal.
The Mercedes C-Class in the 1995 DTM
The DTM of the mid-nineties is considered by many enthusiasts to be one of the golden eras of touring car motorsport. Mercedes-Benz competed with the C-Class in an epic battle against Alfa Romeo and Opel, with cars that, under a touring body, concealed true racing machines.
Bernd Maylander, now universally known as the Formula 1 Safety Car driver for over two decades, forged his career as a driver precisely in the trenches of the DTM. His 1995 Mercedes C-Class is a piece of German motorsport history that deserves a prominent place in any display case or slot track.

- Collectors of 1990s racing touring cars.
