Model Aircraft Decals Design Process

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.

The first step should be the purchase of an actual model. The type you buy is dependent on a number of variations. They include the scale of the plane, the actual size as well as the best price for the same. It is important to ensure you get the item you want at the best price possible. Achieving this will require you to do a lot of shopping.

Select a workstation. Ensure the place is free of any disturbance. Clear your table and can cover it with a Manila or a newspaper. It is important to tape the paper you use to cover your table this will ensure that there is no movement of a draft when applying the paint. You can also buy a mat to make sure you do not destroy the table.

Wash all the items you are using with soapy water and vinegar. The purpose of such an exercise is to remove any oily substance that may have attached itself. With an oily surface, the material will become very difficult to paint. Ensure you follow the instructions when gluing and developing the sketch.

Tests the equipment to see they fit onto each other before joining them together. It is very crucial you get the parts to fit onto each other before cementing or gluing them together. The purpose of the exercise is to ensure the measurements are okay and that you do not fail to achieve your objectives of a near perfect design when joining them together.

Not all the parts of the aircraft requires to be glued together. Some of the parts that will be responsible for moving will require to be fixed differently. Get the best method that will help you achieve the specific results you need. Whichever method you opt for, it should allow the parts to move freely. Also, cut the decals from the rest of them and place them on warm water.

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 use of this process is quite easy to read and follow through. It is therefore one of the most cheaper ways to get that model of a plane you are always in need of. However, you have to ensure that you get nothing short of good results from this sketch. And the money you use for the exercise should be within your limits.
