Echelon Fine Details D356223 1/35 KFOR BMP-1s Decals: Czech BVP-1, Polish BWP-1 and Slovak BVP-1

Type: water-slide decals

This set fully covers 3 KFOR BMP-1s from various NATO nations out of 5 marking options. The Czech BVP-1 is in a unique non-standard two-tone scheme - the darker green was actually touch-up paint as regular lighter green was not available. Featuring a fearsome looking shark mouth, among other additional, attractive personal markings.

There are two Polish BWP-1 marking options in the usual standard three-tone NATO scheme covered by a variety of interesting markings. A selection of one is required.

Last but not least, are options for 2 single-toned Slovak BVP-1s with KFOR and national markings. Again, a choice of either is required.

All 3 vehicles can be adorned with the respective antenna flags.

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 softener is also recommended at this stage. After applying softener, 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.
