Matho Models White Uppercase Letter Waterslide Decals
Matho Models 80019 provides an A6 sheet of white uppercase waterslide letter decals in two different heights. The sheet includes 4mm and 5mm letters, giving you a choice of sizes for adding white 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 so individual letters 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 produces crisp results even across small details, with accurate and colourfast white printing.
4mm and 5mm White Uppercase Letters
The A6 sheet contains uppercase white letters in both 4mm and 5mm heights. Having two clearly identified sizes on the same sheet provides a useful choice when selecting lettering for an individual design. The consistent uppercase format allows individual characters to be selected and combined as required.
These Matho Models letter decals are suitable for all scales. The separated film makes each character individually accessible, while the choice of 4mm and 5mm heights provides flexibility when selecting the required lettering size.
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, followed by the usual weathering process to blend the 4mm or 5mm white uppercase lettering into the finished design.
