Print Scale 48-058 1/48 Australian Fairey Firefly Decals
Type: water-slide decals
1. Firefly F.Mk.I "Evelyn Tentions" Unit: 1771 NAS, FAA No. 275/N (DK431) Usual pilot: Sub-Lieutenant P.H.Dawton. HMS Implacable, British Pacific Fleet, March-April 1945. One notes red L on the landing gear door, reminiscence of the former code of the plane '4L'. The plane had been baptized 'Evelyn Tentions', a word game for the expression ?evil intentions?.
2. Firefly FR.Mk.1 Unit: 827 NAS, FAA No. 273/P (PP 596) HMS Triumph, Task Force 77 (US Navy), Yellow Sea, July 1950. This aircraft took part in the first air strike (on Haejo airfield) of the Korean War on 3rd July 1950.
3. Firefly TT.5 Wb271 (889) of 725 Squadron, Royal Australian Navy, New South Wales 1959.
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.
