Techmod 1:32 Swirl Camouflage Decals is a specialized set designed for precisely detailing 1/32 scale plastic military aircraft models. This high-quality product enables the realistic replication of the distinctive Swirl (whirling) camouflage pattern, often seen on select aircraft types, especially from the World War II period.
Product Features
Scale: This product is designed for 1/32 scale aircraft models.
Application: Enables accurate replication of the unique Swirl camouflage pattern, giving your model an authentic look.
Contents: The package contains one decal sheet, consistent with the included preview images, allowing you to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the available patterns before application.
Manufacturing Quality: The decals are produced by TECHMOD, a company renowned for its high-precision printing and product durability.
Material: Made from a thin, flexible film that minimizes the "silvering" effect and facilitates adaptation to complex model surface contours, such as rivets or panel lines.
Application and Compatibility
The primary application of Techmod decals is to give 1/32 scale aircraft models a detailed and historically accurate Swirl camouflage appearance. Applying the decals requires standard modeling techniques.
For optimal results and easier adaptation of the decals to the model's surface details, it is recommended to use specialized decal solutions (e.g., softening and setting agents), available in the Model Chemicals section. These products aid the adhesion of decals to irregular surfaces and eliminate the "silvering" effect.
This set is compatible with a wide range of 1/32 scale plastic aircraft models that historically featured this type of camouflage. It can be effectively combined with other detailing elements, such as photo-etched parts, resin figures, painting masks, and various detailing accessory sets available in our offer. Such a combination allows for the creation of a comprehensive and realistic aircraft miniature.
Application Tips
Ensure the model surface is clean, smooth, and coated with a gloss varnish before applying the decals.
Carefully cut out the desired decal element from the sheet.
Submerge the cut-out piece in lukewarm water for a few seconds, then gently slide the decal onto the prepared model surface.
Use a brush or cotton swab for precise positioning of the decal.
For better adhesion and integration into the details, apply decal solution according to the solution manufacturer's instruction manual.
Once the decals and solutions are completely dry, it is recommended to cover them with a layer of varnish (matte or satin) to protect the design and unify the model's finish.
