Features and highlights

• Specific decals for the McLaren M23 with Yardley decoration.

Application and use

These decals are intended for enthusiasts who want to give their models a historically accurate decoration. Their application follows the standard water slide decal process: clean surface, light coat of gloss varnish beforehand, brief immersion in water, careful positioning, and final fixing with finishing varnish.

For best results, we recommend using a decal setting solution (such as Micro Sol or similar) to help them conform to raised surfaces or sharp curves, common in 1970s Formula 1 bodies.

Ideal for…

• Collectors of classic Formula 1 from the 1970s.
• Modellers looking to recreate the 1973 McLaren season with documentary accuracy.
• Slot car enthusiasts wanting to customise their McLaren M23 with Hulme's Yardley livery.
• Dioramas and paddock scenes from the era.

Aspects to consider

Before applying the decals, ensure that the model's surface is perfectly prepared: free of dust, grease, and with a base of gloss varnish to facilitate sliding and adhesion. Once positioned and dry, seal with the finishing varnish of your choice (matte, satin, or gloss) according to the desired result.
