Lifelike Decals are professionally printed with accurate colors, fine registration, and thin carrier film that minimizes silvering and allows decals to conform to surface details. The decals respond well to standard decal setting solutions, allowing them to snuggle down over panel lines, rivets, and surface details. The comprehensive nature of each sheet including full stenciling means modelers can replace all kit-supplied markings with historically accurate alternatives. The sheets include detailed placement guides and historical notes documenting the aircraft represented, providing context for the markings and helping modelers achieve authentic results. Proper application techniques including gloss coating before and after decal application ensure professional results that integrate seamlessly with painted finishes.
