Echelon Fine Details AXT351022 Decals for 1/35 Panzer IV Ausf.F1/F2/G

Water-slide Decals

Now comes the "whopper" of the set - five Das Reich Ausf Gs. All fought on the bitter and cold Kharkov front except for "612" which was first seen at Kursk, namely "Operation Citadel". Lets not forget "602", a winterketten-fitted tank plus a newly discovered odd feature probably never seen before, the right side of the turret had a vision slot while the left side had none! (If you have seen such turret oddity on another Ausf F2 or G, please share!) All these plus a serious effort to cover all the known digits used by the 2.SS panzers during the Kursk and Kharkov battles. . All are the "broken" outlined types. You can't go wrong with these.

How can a Kharkov set for Ausf. Gs be complete without 3.SS tanks? Together with set AXT351016, you now have a wide range of markings and units catered to the Battle of Kharkov to choose from for your Ausf. G.

How to apply water-slide decals:
1. Preparation: to achieve better result, a gloss or semi-gloss coat is very important. It will make a smooth layer which the decals will suction to and make it much easier to apply and set them.
2. Cut out the decal you need (do it on cutting mat)
3. Grab the decal with tweezers, place it on the surface of the water and leave it for about 20 seconds.
4. Remove the decal from the water and place it on paper towel to remove any excess water.
5. Apply decal solution to the part where the decal is to be placed.
6. Slide the decal off the backing paper on to the model. Using a paint brush or cotton bud is a good way to do this without damaging the decal.
7. Use the brush, knife or cotton bud to position the decal. Using your paper towel, gently dab the decal and soak up the excess water (decal softner is also recommended at this stage. After applying softner, the decal will suction to the part and flatten out smooth.)
8. When the decal is completely dry, give another coat of varnish or Klear/Future to seal it.
