Generic Logos Tyres I

The detail that distinguishes a finished miniature from a truly accomplished one

The Generic Tyre Logos I (DSC0151) decals from Decal Station are designed for enthusiasts who do not want to leave any aspect to chance. The sidewalls of the tyres are one of the most visible elements on any slot car, and a well-placed decal completely transforms the realism of the model.

What are these decals for?

This set includes generic-looking logos inspired by competition tyre brands, intended for application on the sidewalls of slot car tyres, static models, figures, and dioramas. Their use is particularly common in:

• Slot cars in 1/32 or 1/24 scale that are being prepared for display or photography.
• Static models of competition or touring vehicles.
• Dioramas where the overall level of detail demands consistent finishes across all pieces.

Application and compatibility

These are waterslide decals, the most widespread and versatile system in modelling. The technique is simple: cut out the decal, moisten it for a few seconds, slide it onto the surface previously prepared with a layer of satin or glossy varnish, adjust the position, and let it dry. For better results, apply a decal softening product (such as those from Vallejo, Tamiya, or Ammo) that helps the decal conform to curved surfaces like the tyre sidewalls.

We recommend sealing the final result with a layer of matte or satin varnish depending on the desired finish, which also protects the decal from wear and handling.

Points to consider

• The included logos are of generic design, not exact reproductions of real commercial brands.
• The surface of the decal must be clean, smooth, and free of grease to ensure good adhesion.
• On rubber tyres with irregular surfaces, the use of softener is especially recommended.

Frequently asked questions

Are they waterslide or adhesive decals?

They are waterslide decals, the standard format in modelling. They are applied by briefly moistening them and sliding them onto the prepared surface.

Do they work on rubber tyres of slot cars?

Yes, although the rubber surface may be somewhat porous or irregular. To facilitate adhesion, it is recommended to clean the tyre well and use a decal softener to help them conform to the curvature.

What scale do these logos cover?

The provided information does not specify a particular scale. The most common for this type of product is that they are suitable for 1/32 and nearby scales, but we recommend checking the exact dimensions before applying.

Do I need to varnish before applying the decal?

It is highly recommended. A layer of glossy or satin varnish over the application area reduces the texture of the surface and prevents the "silvering" effect around the decal.

Can I use these decals on static models as well as on slot cars?

Absolutely. They are equally valid for static competition models, dioramas, or any vehicle miniature where tyre logos are to be reproduced.
