Echelon Fine Details AXT351023 1/35 LSSAH Panzer IV Ausf. Gs & Hs in Kursk & Italy Decals

Type: water-slide decals

The third installment of LAH Panzer IVs, as seen at Kursk and Italy. A mix of Ausf. G and H variants in colorful 3-tone camouflages as well as the standard 2-tones often seen at Kursk.
The turret numbers featured here are of primarily three outlined kinds: white over black, black over white and just black outlines. On the real tanks, the numbers were painted using standard stencils as well as a those which were painted using ad-hoc stencils or hand-painted on the battlefield.
Each set of numbers are carefully replicated, with varying widths of white and black outlines. Most of the outlines are very thin (trickly to print)

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.
