Model decals, markings and transfers

Model decals and marking sets

Model decals, markings and transfers are used to add accurate insignia, stencilling and unit markings to scale models. Most decals are supplied as water slide transfers, allowing fine detail to be applied cleanly over painted surfaces.

This category includes decal and marking sets from manufacturers such as Airfix, Copper State Models, ICM, Meng Model, Tamiya, Trumpeter, Uschi van der Rosten and Xtradecal.

Decal sets are commonly used for aircraft, vehicles, armour and ships, allowing builders to represent specific units, time periods or schemes. When applied correctly, decals play a key role in the realism and accuracy of a finished model.
