Matho Models Large Black Number Waterslide Decals

Matho Models 80002 provides an A6 sheet of large black waterslide number decals in three different heights. The sheet includes 8mm, 10mm and 15mm digits, giving you a useful choice of sizes for adding black numerical details to scale modelling projects. Each height is identified on the sheet, making it straightforward to select the required digit size before application.

Suitable for all scales, the decals feature separated film, allowing individual numbers 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 produces crisp results even across small details, with accurate and colourfast black printing.

Three Large Black Digit Heights

The A6 sheet contains black digits in 8mm, 10mm and 15mm heights. Having three clearly identified sizes together provides flexibility when selecting the physical number height required for a design. These Matho Models decals are covered by a semi-transparent protective sheet. Once the cover is removed, the decals have their crisp and bright appearance ready for application.

Applying the Waterslide Number 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 digit into position using tweezers. Decal softener, such as Micro Set and Sol, can be used for better adhesion, particularly when applying a number 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 number 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 selected 8mm, 10mm or 15mm black digits into the finished design.
