    Howdy, Im partially building a nu gundam ver ka and for the first time I decided to go use some decals, problem is as some may know they’re water slides D:

    While I had some practice using paint I’m not at the point (nor have the eye to) pick out all relevant paints to make him then go decal him to death, what my plan was JUST doing the shoulder and shield decals on an unpainted kit, but I want them to stay there for awhile…

    Do I need to wash the plastic for the decals, should I do a gloss coat on the affected pieces before applying, will just slapping on the decal to a straight from box build and then throwing a FLAT topcoat help protect the decal?

    Any and all tips will be much appreciated, and tldr, unpainted kit, want decals, long lasting results, thanks 😀

    • Best thing that works for me and a lot of other peeps –
      1. gloss coat
      2. apply decals
      3. top coat (gloss or flat)
      Decals should be good and protected. 🙂
