Production of our Decals

Gruenberg & Wolter Modelltechnik started producing models in 1979 under the Label Tin Wizard. We take pride in our workmanship and we like to capture the true spirit of the real thing. We produce small numbers of each model, mostly in white metal but also in resin, primarily in 1/43 scale. Other models in 1/24 and 1/18 scale are also available. Since 2012 we also offer high quality screenprinted Waterslidedecals under the name Interdecal. At Gruenberg & Wolter Modelltechnik we also manufacture exclusively for clients and on our shop we also offer items for sale produced by other companys.

Take advantage of over 30 years of scale modeling experience.

Decal Application:

-Cut the decal sheet into sections.
-Soak one section in water for about 10 seconds.
-Lay it to rest until completely uncurled and easy to move around on the backing paper (Not too wet or the glue on the backing paper will dissolve).
-Slide the design from the backing paper onto a chosen surface and gently wipe over surface with a fine paintbrush to eliminate any trapped air bubble.
-On uneven surfaces, use warm to hot water to soften the decal.
-Soak up excess fluids with a tissue paper and carefully apply pressure to your Decal with it.

On very uneven surfaces,
you can carefully use diluted methylated alcohol or a Setting solution with a fine brush,
to soften the decal even more and enhance adhesion.
Setting solution can also be thinned with water to weaken its effect should it be too strong for your needs.

Allow the decal to dry completely.

It is possible, if prefered, to varnish the model after the decals have been placed.
Depending on the varnish used, it is recommended to test for any unwanted effect.
Always apply varnish by thin layers, apply the last layer a bit thicker to get a nice finish
