How To Develop Model Aircraft Decals

By Ann Roberts


If you are planning to model an aircraft, there are a number of things to follow. You need to understand what it is you need and then create a plan that will push you towards results realization. Appreciating the fact people are talented differently will help you get proud of your results. Some will get that perfect drawing while others will not. These are the guidelines to follow when making a Model Aircraft Decals.

Start by purchasing a real model. The purpose should be to give you an insight on what you want to develop. The choice on the type is dependent purely on your taste, size, scale and the money at your disposal. And since this will act as a guide, it is crucial you ascertain your ability to be able to meet these costs.

Select your work desk. The selection will help you concentrate by removing any possible noise and distractions in the area. To start with, you need to lay a newspaper on the table and fix it with a tape. In so doing, you will avoid the chances of removing the draft from the table when sketching. Also have a cutting mat to prevent you from destroying the furniture.

Ensure the items you use for the exercise are clean. The best way to be sure of this is by cleaning them thoroughly with vinegar and soapy water. In so doing, you will be getting rid of any oily surface on them. Oil will have the potential to prevent quality painting if not done away with in advance.

Ensure the joints fit onto each other before binding them together with glue. Understand where the joints need to be kept and select the glue that will help you realize the best results. However, it is important you confirm that the joints are able to join. When applying glue, do not over apply, you do not want to have the excess seeping out of the prototype.

Understand the pieces to glue together and the ones that cannot be glued. Propellers and turrets should never be glued and here is why, you will require them to move or rotate. Each of the decals should be carefully cut from the others and placed in warm water. Do the process continually and you will get the results you yearn for.

Once you are sure the decal is ready, remove it from the bowl and get rid of the excess warm water. Use a serviette or even a tissue paper to do this. At this stage, you can also apply some decal solution aiming at making sure the decal blends perfectly well with the aircraft.in so doing you will be giving the design that spectacular finish you always wanted.

The process of developing a decal aircraft is an easy one if you follow these guidelines and you have the intrinsic motivation to achieve the best results. Otherwise, without these two, the exercise will simply be in futility. Ensure you get nothing short of the results you have been yearning for and those you are in need of.
