Re: Tamiya king tiger decals
Another way is to spray a clear coat gloss on the area you are applying the decals too, allow it to dry eg: overnight would be ideal
Apply your decals as per normal. I usually allow 24 hours for them to dry and set.
Then spray a Dull Coat Clear over your decals. Leave to dry.

Re: Tamiya king tiger decals
hi ive already weathered my KT using MIG filters and pin washes with some light dry brush work to pull out detail. Would it be possible to pre-cut around numbers and then soak in warm water then apply, that way you remove clear film completely



Re: Tamiya king tiger decals
You could paint the markings using stencils, RCTank.de has a selection of King Tiger stencils.
