Your Minicraft model kit contains high-quality waterslide decals. These decals adhere best to a glossy surface, so it is recommended that you apply a clear gloss coat over your painted model. Use a sharp scissors or knife to cut individual decals from the carrier sheet. Do not cut into the clear film surrounding the individual decals.
