Decals for Scale Models and Realistic Finishing
Decals are an essential finishing element in scale modeling. They help apply precise markings—insignia, serial numbers, stencils, and emblems—that are difficult to paint by hand. Correct decals improve realism and historical accuracy, and they integrate beautifully into weathered finishes.
Decal Types
- Waterslide decals – thin water-activated decals for markings, insignia, numbers, and stencils
- 3D decals – raised/textured decals for instrument panels and high-detail areas where depth matters
Where Decals Are Used
- National markings and unit insignia – roundels, flags, emblems
- Numbers and lettering – serials, tactical codes, identifiers
- Stencils and technical markings – fine surface detail for authenticity
Decals for Popular Model Categories
Decals are widely used across different model types and display projects. They help bring realism to armor model kits, vehicle models, aircraft model kits, and ship model kits.
How to Apply Decals
- Apply on a smooth surface (often gloss) to reduce silvering
- Use decal solutions to conform decals to panel lines and rivets
- Seal with clear coat before weathering
- Blend with finishing to integrate markings into the paintwork
