Happy flying!
Thank you for all the time and efforts you put
Good tip on applying Decals. I also use clear full sheet labels to create my own Decals and that has worked well thus far. Thanks for the video and Happy Flying!
Into the hobby. Most informative videos .
Great demonstration Lee! Very informative.
I too have this model and when I applied my decals, I took the extra step of going over them with a warm (not hot!) covering iron. As you stated the heat of your fingers will help activate the adhesive, the iron really helped this process, especially with the tiny nomenclature.
Cheers!

Thx Lee for that it will be really helpful, I've been watching Roberts videos on this plane too and you've both done HK justice ! The weather has been grim here in Lancs too and our local field needs cutting, so I'll get this now and admire it till the Spring.All the Best
+mick clitheroe until we get a break in this horrific weather, I'm afraid my model is just being used as a bench beauty too. :-)
I've always used a dash of washing up liquid in water and spray on the surface first. Sounds wrong but it works. You can then move the decal if it's not quite right. Using a paper towel to dry and push the excess water out and it's stuck for good. The RC car guys use this on their body shells. My latest video shows the results on a FPV wing l covered in brown paper and then painted. Then applied the decal with this method. May help and as you said practice first
Windex works too. We used to apply screen protectors on phones and tablets by spraying a light misting of windex first.
A great tip but that works best on waterproof surfaces. I didn't want to try that on this one! :D
Very well done video on a subject that is an absolutely important yet often overlooked final step, applying decals to a model that is ready to fly, yet lacks the "final touches" of a scale model as this WWII German 109 is. Very well done. Kudos.
You can se HK have improved them, I remember the job I had with the MK1 Spit Nightmare. Great bit of info matey.
Really nice! 😊
Good information! Thanks for posting!
Good demo of neat techniques
I'll have to try them at some point as my decals are nearly always crinkled :(
Hey! Cosmetics are always nice. Just imagine what (massive majority of older) women look like without hair dye? Maybe better, maybe not; definitely a massive difference.
Thx and thumbs-up!
Nice
Nice Thanks for the vid
Being a person who used to tint windows on cars maybe this hint will help you out.... Window film is the most pain in the butt thing to separate from its backing... So using two pieces of tape... One on the front side and one on the back side and then Pull-A-Part.... Wawa problem solved
I'm looking to rebuild my P-51 June Nite, but the decal sheet is discontinued and nobody's selling it. Is it possible to take off the decals from the damaged fuselage? And what's the best to use to glue the decals?
I've never tried. If you find a way, please post the process... best of luck
How big is it
All covered in the review video of the plane. See the link in this video for that Review. Best of luck!
Hi there, will decals work on a standard foam glider? or just on kit planes?
