Avoid touching the decal whilst it is drying.Īttention: always check that the image is positioned correctly before you slide it off the backing paper completely so that it does not stick to your finger, crease or even tear. Once you are happy that the decal is correctly positioned, carefully soak up any excess water with paper towel and leave the decal to fully dry. Now, (holding the backing paper with tweezers) you can slide the decal just a little bit off its backing paper and onto the model (also dampen the area with warm water) using tweezers, a toothpick or a water-moistened paint brush. Leave to stand for approximately 20 seconds whilst the decal’s adhesive activates with the water and the decal separates from its backing paper. Using tweezers, dip the decal you have cut out in a container of warm water for a few seconds and then place the wetted decal, paper side down, on a piece of clean kitchen towel. First, cut out each decal as required using scissors. When it comes to applying decals, time, patience, a clean work area and a steady hand are especially important, as is having the right tools for the job (scissors, tweezers, toothpicks, paper towel and a small container for the water). When painting, ensure that you keep the edge of the tin clean with a cloth so that the lid will close firmly later. To this end, stir the paint firmly with a toothpick, a plastic stick or a small wooden spatula for approximately one minute. Paints must always be stirred before use to allow the contents to mix with each other.
Soft natural hair brushes such as Revell Painta Standard or artificial hair brushes such as Revell Painta Aqua in sizes 0, 2 and 4 are ideal for beginners. Aqua Color requires an appropriate cleaning agent such as Revell Aqua Color Clean and you need to be considerably more careful with these colours, as they contain solvents. After painting, brushes can simply be washed with water. Important: Do not mix these colour types together!īeginners are recommended to use the fast-drying, water-soluble and non-hazardous Aqua Colors. For painting your model, we recommend enamel paints such as Revell Email Color and acrylic paints such as Revell Aqua Color. Whether you are following the instructions or producing your own creation, a model becomes a real eye catcher when it is painted. We have a large library, display cabinets dedicated to model car topics of all descriptions, and we collect memorabilia from contests and displays from around.
