Gisbod Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Hi, Just wondering about these. Just got a Tamiya Zero, markings will be airbrushed but wondering about the stencil data? Don't like the thick Tamiya option. There are a set of 'Water transfer' stencils for the kit at Hannants (but at £13.99!). Are these any good? What's the difference from a normal decal? Thanks for looking in... Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I've never heard this term before, which to me just sounds like it's describing standard waterslide decals. Are you sure you're not talking about the Wet Transfer system from HGW? If so, they go on just like decals, but after some drying time, you actually peel away the non-printed areas of the backing film, ostensibly leaving a result similar to dry transfers.

Mark_C Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Kev, I think these are the ones: https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/HGW232014 The price matches, and they are described as "wet transfers." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gisbod Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Ah, yes... thanks that's the one. So basically, no carrier film... I guess they must be good then? Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy I've only used their rivet sets, and found that getting the carrier film off thoroughly can be tricky, and that occasionally part of the decal would lift with it. A few of the guys here have had experience with their markings sets, and I think the results have been mixed. Hopefully one of them can chime in with their experience.

Ilya Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Currently I am building tamiya A6M2 and using HGW wet transfers. The result is amasing. Looks like this I used them on tamiya x-22 and tamiya mark fit. Drying time - 24 hours. sandokan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
