Matho Models Black Lowercase Letter Waterslide Decals
Matho Models 80013 provides an A6 sheet of small black lowercase waterslide letter decals in two different heights. The sheet includes 4mm and 5mm letters, providing a useful choice of sizes for adding black lowercase lettering to scale modelling projects. The letter heights are identified on the sheet, making it easy to select the required size while working.
Suitable for all scales, the decals feature separated film, allowing individual letters to come away one by one without the need to cut precisely to their edges. Their ultra-thin construction helps them adapt well to different surfaces, while the semi-matte finish provides a controlled appearance. High-definition printing delivers crisp results even across the smallest details, with accurate and colourfast black printing.
4mm and 5mm Black Lowercase Letters
The A6 sheet contains black lowercase letters in both 4mm and 5mm heights. Having two clearly identified sizes on the same sheet provides flexibility when selecting lettering for an individual design. These Matho Models decals are covered by a semi-transparent protective sheet. Once this cover is removed, the decals have their crisp and bright appearance ready for application.
Applying the Waterslide Letter Decals
Cut out the required decal with a sharp knife and place it in water for approximately 5 to 10 seconds to loosen it from the carrier paper. Gently slide the letter into position using tweezers. Decal softener, such as Micro Set and Sol, can be used for better adhesion, particularly when applying the decal to a non-flat surface.
Once positioned, use tissue paper and apply light pressure over the decal to remove excess water or decal softener and fix the letter in place. Varnish can then be airbrushed over the decal for protection. Semi-matte or matte varnish can be used to reduce glare if required. The usual weathering process can then be applied to blend the 4mm or 5mm black lowercase lettering into the finished design.
