Echelon Fine Details D356117 1/35 Finnish Sturmi Markings & Generic Stencils Pt2 (Post War) Decals

Type: water-slide decals

10 vehicle names covered in this set. The post war number styles are meticulously captured from known period photographs. And the styles are uniquely different from the WWII examples, same goes for the fire extinguisher labels (two different styles provided). A number of post war Sturmis are late war Ausf Gs, featuring the famous Saukopf mantlet. For modelling references, there are still a few museum pieces around Finland in post war fittings.

How to apply water-slide decals:
1. Preparation: to achieve better result, a gloss or semi-gloss coat is very important. It will make a smooth layer which the decals will suction to and make it much easier to apply and set them.
2. Cut out the decal you need (do it on cutting mat)
3. Grab the decal with tweezers, place it on the surface of the water and leave it for about 20 seconds.
4. Remove the decal from the water and place it on paper towel to remove any excess water.
5. Apply decal solution to the part where the decal is to be placed.
6. Slide the decal off the backing paper on to the model. Using a paint brush or cotton bud is a good way to do this without damaging the decal.
7. Use the brush, knife or cotton bud to position the decal. Using your paper towel, gently dab the decal and soak up the excess water (decal softner is also recommended at this stage. After applying softner, the decal will suction to the part and flatten out smooth.)
8. When the decal is completely dry, give another coat of varnish or Klear/Future to seal it.
