    Assemble the model and prepare the model for
    the painting. Spray with Mr. Finishing Surfacer
    1500, add drops of Super Gloss Clear to the
    mixture so that the sprayed model has glossy
    surface (same grade of smoothness of the surface
    like for decal application).

    Prepare mixture of water
    (100 ml) and dishwashing
    saponite (2–3 drops). Soak
    the dishwashing sponge in the
    mixture.
    Cut off a section with rivets
    from the decal paper with
    scissors or sharp modeling
    knife.
    Put it on the sponge then push
    the sponge so that the decal
    is wet.

    Wait until the decal could
    be released from the paper.
    Put drops of water/saponite
    mixture on the model surface
    where you want to place the
    decal, then place the decal on
    its position.
    Placed decal.
    Press the applied decal to the
    surface with dry dishwashing
    sponge and remove all water.
    Do not move the sponge!
    Just apply gentle press and
    then draw the sponge apart
    from the surface vertically.
    Otherwise, the decal might get
    deformed.

    After all the decals are on their positions,
    allow at least 24 hours for drying. Then
    spray 3–5 very thin layers of Mr. Finishing
    Surfacer 1500 over the whole model using
    airbrush. Do not use spray in can!
    Continue with painting and final assembly
    of the model. Pay maximum attention to
    masking when using masking tape. The
    adhesion of the tape must be reduced to
    avoid damage of the Surfacer layer or even
    the decal!
