DM-028, FT-17's Around the World. This reference sheet can begin
to scratch the surface of the complexity of Israeli marking practices and the
modeler is encouraged to consult the reference section for further reading. Instructions include information on general marking practices, marking placement, color schemes. Gray areas on the illustration will be printed in white. Decal may vary in layout, but not in final composition.
Tips for use
- These
are laser-printed decals. As such, the
colors will look more “muted” than silk-screen printed decals, especially the
white due the thinness of the ink application.
- Use
a gloss coat under the decal to prevent silvering.
- Be
sure to cut closely to the edge of the edge of the image you wish to use as
these are not spot printed, but continuous sheets of decal film.
- These
are two stage decals! For colored decals
(other than black), place white undercoat where you want the final design to be
first, let it dry and then add the color layer.
- I
have used Solvaset and Mr. Mark Softener without problems, however, other decal
solvents may prove more detrimental to the decals.
- Seal
with another gloss coat to protect the finished image.
Please note that gray areas actually print as white and are depicted to show contrast.
