This item is a sheet of water-slide or dry transfer decals for marking aircraft models. It does not require either cement or paint to complete or use.
This dry transfer decal sheet from Hobbydecal includes data stencils for a 1/32 Me262. Complete markings are included for one model.
Real aircraft have painted-on stencils. Waterslide decals are printed on a clear carrier film which is usually visible after application and does not convey the "painted-on" look that dry transfers will. While more care is required during application, the result is such a marked improvement over waterslide decals that you will probably want to use dry transfers on all your models!
Note: IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT DRY TRANSFERS: Unlike regular decals where the lettering is attached to a clear carrier film that will "silver" if not applied to a glossy surface, with dry transfers the individual lettering is printed directly on the backing sheet, and is applied to the model directly through light rubbing. As a result, dry transfers do not require a glossy surface, and in fact will not stick well to one. For ease of application, it is recommended that the dry transfers be applied to a matte surface, as that will provide the "tooth" needed for the transfer to properly grip the surface and come free of the backing sheet. If a glossy finish is desired, a gloss topcoat can be applied after the transfers have been placed on the model.
