MH Models D32001X 1/32 Bell X-1 Stencils Decals with Markings Paint Mask

Bell X-1 Stencils with Markings airbrush mask

Water-slide Decals:

Instructions:
1. Apply a gloss or semi-gloss coat to provide a smooth surface.
2. Cut out the required decal on a cutting mat.
3. Hold the decal with tweezers and place it in water for about 20 seconds.
4. Remove it from the water and place it on a paper towel to absorb excess water.
5. Apply decal solution to the area where the decal will be placed.
6. Slide the decal from the backing paper onto the model, using a paintbrush or cotton bud.
7. Position the decal carefully and gently dab away excess water. Decal softener is recommended to help it conform to the surface.
8. Once completely dry, apply a clear coat to seal the decal.

Paint Mask:

Preparing the masks: Do not stretch the masks during application, as this may cause deformation. Remove and reapply the whole mask if necessary. Once positioned, trace the surface indentations with a pointed wooden stick so the mask conforms to the model.

Painting method: Avoid applying two coats of colour at the mask edges. Apply one colour before masking, then apply the other colour after positioning the mask. Excessive paint build-up can leave the edges of the lighter colour visible when the mask is removed.
