Bandai 30MS WATER DECALS MULTIUSE 1 – Water Decals for Model Customization
The Bandai 30MS WATER DECALS MULTIUSE 1 water decal set is a specialized modeling accessory designed for precisely enhancing models with additional details, markings, and decorative elements. This product has been developed with the aim of expanding the customization possibilities for figures from the popular Bandai 30 Minutes Sisters (30MS) series, while also offering universal application in various modeling projects.
Primary Application
Bandai 30MS WATER DECALS MULTIUSE 1 are used for applying small symbols, emblems, pictograms, panel markings, and additional graphic elements that are not directly molded into the plastic. They enable increased model realism, masking of part seams, and the addition of unique details characteristic of individual modeling projects. They are an ideal tool for modelers striving for a high degree of finish and a unique look for their kits.
Key Technical Features
Decal Type: These are water slide decals, meaning the graphic layer is transferred onto the model after soaking in water, ensuring a thin and smooth application.
Material: Made from a thin, flexible film that easily conforms to irregularly shaped surfaces and subtle curves.
Print Precision: They feature high print resolution, which guarantees sharpness and legibility of even the smallest graphic and textual elements.
Durability: After proper application and drying, the decals exhibit good adhesion to the model surface. To increase durability and protect against mechanical damage, it is recommended to use a clear coat.
Versatility of Designs: The "MULTIUSE 1" designation indicates a collection of diverse, often general designs that can be applied to various elements such as faces, torsos, arms, legs, armor, weapons, or accessories, without being limited to a single specific model from the 30MS series.
Compatibility
The Bandai 30MS WATER DECALS MULTIUSE 1 set is optimally designed for all figures and expansion sets from the Bandai 30 Minutes Sisters (30MS) series, including characters, optional parts sets, and accessories. Thanks to their universal nature and diverse designs, the decals can also be effectively used with other Bandai plastic models, such as Gunpla (Gundam Models), Mecha models, and also in the broader context of science-fiction and military modeling, provided the size and style match the specific project.
Application Recommendations
For best results, follow the general rules for applying water decals:
Cut out the chosen decal element, leaving a small margin.
Submerge the decal in clean, room-temperature water for 10-20 seconds, until the graphic layer begins to slide freely on the paper backing.
Gently transfer the decal onto the chosen model surface, using tweezers or an applicator stick.
Carefully position the decal in the target location, removing excess water and air bubbles using a soft brush, cotton swab, or cotton bud.
Allow the model to dry completely (usually several hours). To protect and seal the effect, it is recommended to apply a layer of clear coat (matte, semi-gloss, or gloss, depending on preference).
Bandai 30MS WATER DECALS MULTIUSE 1 is a practical solution for modelers aiming for a professional and personalized finish for their kits.
