Of all the methods I’ve seen online this is the one I’m most comfortable trying. Thanks for the tip and very well done video.

I've been modeling for 50+ years, and have never seen a decal with "carrier film" on it. Pretty interesting. I have actually gotten into using stencils for my markings, as much as possible. With the markings painted on, they look very authentic!

This seems like a great technique. Thank you for sharing this with us. Excellent video

Par excellence in this remarkable achievement in resolving what has been a vexing problem with these new era Eduard decals. I've been successful using a variety of techniques, all now seem a tad sketchy to this marvellous outcome you have posted. Real model-making "hall of fame" stuff mate. As for Eduard themselves providing such a definitive technique and their general "haziness" and lack of information about this, the mind boggles lol. Kudos and much respect to you sir. Warmest regards from Tuckombil via Alstonville and East Ballina 800km north of Sydney, MATE 🤙

That's incredible!!! Thanks for showing this technique.

Nice to hear 'transfers' as we used to call them. American kits, like Revell, always said, decals, or deesals as i thought it, deckals, no, transfers for us Brit modelers of a certain age (61). Beautiful work on those Spits, Sir . Subbed.

Great result, I'll defo give the water technique a try, the film lifted beautifully. Thanks.

That’s amazing👍 I’ve used enamel thinner but I’ll definitely try this less aggressive technique. Thanks for the tip😀

Thanks mate great video happy modelling old boy 👍

Great technique! I haven't tried using the water and brush technique, but I have used micro Sol and a nice glossy finish (GTX Super Clear III) with excellent results. I love the Eduard transfers!

Wow, thank you for the information! I tried to remove these carrier films, but they kept tearing the decals, so I just put a dull coat over the top of them like you do on any normal decal, but this looks so much better

Brilliant! Thank you for this tip.

Excellent explanation.

I recently tried them for the first time; they 50/50 either worked well or started tearing the decal off. I put them over a Tamiya semi-gloss surface, using Mr setter and softer. It seemed that the smaller decals were the worst for wanting to lift off with the film. I'd love to be able to use them 100% reliably -will try your method soon as I like the idea of them. Thanks for your vid.

Subbed because a) you nailed the pronounciation first time b) you called them transfers anyway.

Thx for the tutorial. Seeing is believing. You're doing Eduard's work. They should thank you...

"...try on a corner..." on a _round_ decal! LOL.

Life's to short for this shenanigans

Nice one. I haven't used any of their decals/transfers/sticky things yet and was resolved to go for cartograph but I get it. It seems as long as the adhesive is good and stuck, the carrier film should let go. Thanks, less worried about giving them a go to be fair

Great tutorial, see a few still to try them, lol , what colours and manufacturers did you use on the High Altitude spit please, thier both lovely. Well done 👍

Great tutorial thank you. Just a thought have you tried this with sol and set, wondering if the Daco solution could be the magic solution?

Watching the video over again, I noticed that the water that was left on the lettering sat there for a bit longer, while you removed the roundel carrier film. I wonder if it's simply a matter of letting the water set on the decal (transfer) for a bit and then using the wet brush ro lift the edge of the carrier film.

But have they changed them back? Last week I received the new Eduard/Zvesda Hrabe Su-25, and the decals display none of the mottling that characterized the "new" decals with the carrier film on the top. The Su-25 decals are perfectly glossy on the sheets with no mottling whatsoever. So now what's going on?

Wait some time before starting to lift the carrier flm?? Minutes, hours, days??

Thank you for the video. I tried it on some spare decals from 1/72 Bf-109F and Hurristory. Worked really well. But what about stencils. There's so little paint compared to the carrier film, that I'm afraid removing the film will remove everything.

I've never used them. Is there a way of telling what type they are before trying to apply them? For instance, do the instructions tell you, can you tell by the transfers themselves? I'd worry about just cutting them and dunking them in water to apply them 'as normal' without realising. All that said, in my experience when I've applied transfers when I overspray with Humbrol (boo hiss) Satin Cote the transfer's carrier film 'disappears' anyway.

Интересное видео!❤

I always call them transfers to since I was about 7 and I'm 57 now

How long did you leave the decals on the model before removing the carrier film?

Question: The decal is completely dried for 24 hrs before you do this process correct?

So they're different to the well known waterslide decals used for decades by all brands?

Great video and must helpful. I still can only ask why Eduard have changed an age old approach to decal application. In my opinion, this is not an improvement as using their decals just creates extra work for the same result, so I just don't get it.

But I thought the whole point of Eduard's new decals was that you weren't meant to take the carrier film off?

Nice work, I don't mind removing the film it's the print quality I don't like. Look at how patchy that roundel is.

Stockholm syndrome... 😏

Still too much hassle though.

Be honest pal still a massive faff compared to the old ones imagine doing a modern jet with loads of decals on it good luck with that 😂😂😂😂

Why would eduard over complicate something? 🙄 Jman
