Q/A & Help Group 9 years, 5 months ago Ok guys, I’m building my first MG kit at the moment. I notice I got some decal, the green one looks like some stick, so I know I can just apply them to my kit easy. The clear one is the one I have question about, how can I apply it? I know the instruction tell me to use a blade to cut it to really close to the logo, then i’m lost. Am I suppose to use some sharp object to stick it on to the kit? Or, I suppose to use some water to put them on the kit(kinda like a fake tattoo)? I remember I watched one of the episode of Gunpla TV said something about using water. Any tips from anyone? Thanks so much.

those are dry transfer decals. think back to the old “press and rubs” we all had as kits, same concept.
for best usage, cut em out as tight as you can, using a piece of scotch tape to lift it, and place it on your kit, then RUB like mad, slow n firm.
Then is it easy to come right off? Do I need to do anything special to make sure they stay on the kit?
well, like the old drypress stickers we all had, patience is key, you have to press evenly and get the entire decal down else can tear.
far as staying there, well that’s what the final clear coats for.
From memory @Syd created a tutorial video on the dry transfer decals early in the GunplaTV series. Search through the early episodes and you should be able to find it.
Vegeta8259 on youtube has a really good tutorial on decals for beginners if your interested.
