Artistic Decal Sheet Mentor 323 — Kalkomania 15.5×23 cm

Mentor artistic decal sheet model 323 (kalkomania) sized 15.5×23 cm is a self-contained transfer decal designed for applying printed designs onto scale models, hobby projects and decorative surfaces. The flexible thin film carries high-resolution artwork that becomes nearly invisible after transfer, allowing precise detailing and realistic finishes. This decal sheet is intended for manual water-transfer application and requires clear varnish or adhesive for sealing and long-term protection.

Advantages

The thin, water-transfer film conforms well to curved and textured surfaces, enabling crisp detail and minimal visible edges after application. High-resolution printing preserves fine lines and small motifs, while the standard 15.5×23 cm size fits common model scales and craft projects. The product is compatible with conventional clear varnishes and adhesives used in modelling, which helps ensure durable adhesion and protection against wear.

Suitable for

• Scale model kits (aircraft, vehicles, ships) needing detailed markings
• Miniature figures and dioramas for accurate surface decoration
• Hobby craft projects, scrapbooking and decorative items
• Restoration of small decorative objects where printed motifs are required

Key specifications

• Sheet dimensions: 15.5 × 23 cm
• Application method: manual water-transfer decal
• Material: thin flexible transfer film with printed pigments
• Finish after transfer: low-profile, near-invisible film

How to use

Cut the desired motif from the decal sheet and soak it briefly in clean water until the film slides freely from the backing. Position the decal on the prepared, clean surface and slide it into place. Gently remove excess water and air with a soft brush or cloth, then allow the decal to dry completely. After drying, apply a compatible clear varnish or adhesive layer to seal and protect the transferred design. Use care on highly textured or curved areas to avoid wrinkles; small adjustments can be made while the film is still damp.

Usage recommendations

For best results, prepare the application surface by cleaning and, if necessary, applying a primer or base coat. Test adhesion and color compatibility on a scrap piece before final application. Allow sealing varnish to cure fully according to the varnish manufacturer's instructions to maximize durability.
