Barracuda BC-48056 1/48 Westland Welkin Mk.I/II Decals for Planet Models kits

These decals date back to the Cooper Details days and a never completed 1/48 Welkin project. While the kit never materialized, we do have the decals. These decals may be used to replace the kit decals for the Planet Models Welkin Mk. I and Mk. II. The decals are more accurate in color and design than the Planet Models decals. This set is also a great source for accurately colored British markings for other British aircraft models. Included are 32, 40, 45, 48 and 50-inch roundels, prototype ?P? marking and options for six aircraft.

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.
