This new decal sheet from Hobby
Decal includes
dry transfer stencils for the 1/48 F-15E. Full sized 1/1 aircraft
have their stencils painted on using paint stencils. Regular
decals are ink printed on a clear carrier film....which is fine, but
they are not as accurate in look and application as dry transfers.
Dry
transfers are reverse printed on a temporary clear film.
When you apply the stencils you lay the back of the stencils on
the painted surface of the model and then burnish (rub) them down
through the clear temporary carrier film. The dry transfer
sticks to the model and dis-engages from the clear carrier film.
The beauty of dry transfers is on models with bare metal finishes.
On bare metal finishes you do not have any clear carrier film as
you would have with regular decals. The decals are
beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet. One complete set of
stencils is included on this decal sheet.
These dry transfers
are very clearly printed and will replicate the actual stencils on
the 1/1 F-15E perfectly and like any modern jet the F-15E strike
eagle is loaded with stencils.
This stencil set also
includes stencils for the fuel drop tanks and weapons pylons/rails.
