Just found some of these - does anyone know how to apply them?

No I have some and cant get em to work, as it was for 15mm I used Airfix ones(very old).

Now I applied some of these only recently & IIRC this was how I did it.

1 cut out decal(s) to be applied
2 wet area to be applied to
3 place decal on model
4 brush with damp paintbrush
5 dab with clean cloth

Worked fine for me

Did some yesterday!

Basically what NTM said.

1. Cut out decal to just about the right size. The Skytrex decals come with two sheets of paper. One is just a protective cover sheet (the one with no decals on it). Just discard it.

2. The sheet with the decal on it has the decal on one side and nothing on the other. Hold it up to the light and you'll see the shiny decal on one side. That's the side that needs to be applied to the model.

Everything else is exactly as NTM has already stated.

Hope this helps

i have just got some off them, do you not put them on like the airfix one's cut them out put into water then slide them onto your tank etc etc ?

Some you do others you don't, it will say on them if they are "waterslide" (something like - cut out decal place in water, etc).
The others mainly the older (lower numbered) decals are of the 'Pressfix' type i found that peeling of the backing paper, apply the decal pressing on with finger then wetting it to remove the front paper worked well.
