Vinyl Decals
Posted by Shlippyohboy on Friday, June 28, 2024 7:23 PM

Hello Les here. I am building an Itelari 1:6 scale Honda NSR 500. I am struggling with the peel and stick vinyl decals that came with the kit. They will not conform to the compond curves at all. I have tried using a hair dryer to heat then press them into place with very limited succes. If anyone has experience with these types of decals I would greatly appreciate your input. Thnx Les.

I wouldn't use them,sounds like they belong on a toy instead of a built model.

Check this out and maybe see if Italeri will send water slide decals to you

I hear you. but unfortunately thats what I got. There are no replacements out there. So basically I'm screwed. Cartograph should be ashamed of supplying such pour decals.

If you have an inkjet printer and a scanner you can scan the vinyl sheet,  Then get some inkjet decal paper, and print the image on it.  Let dry for a few dayd.  Then coat wit a sealer, let that dry for a few days and you will have accurate water-slide decals.
