These transfers have been specially produced for MSC Models by POWSIDES for use with the MSC Super Saloon kit.
Paint the model to be lettered with enamel paint (eg. Humbrol, Precision) or cellulose or acrylic aerosols etc.
The lettering should be applied in low humidity conditions, not exceeding 21 0 C (70 0 F). Work under good light conditions. Cut out the required lettering with a sharp craft knife, taking care not to apply any pressure to the remaining transfer sheet.
Broadside view photographs of seven of the eight coaches in original condition are shown on pages 174 – 177 of JH Russell's “Pictorial Record of Great Western Coaches (1903 – 1945)” published by OPC. Whilst showing the position of the coach numbers and GWR lettering, these photographs are particularly useful in positioning the coach names.
Position the lettering with tweezers, cocktail sticks, craft knife point etc. very carefully and when satisfied it is in the correct position, use a blunt pointed instrument ie. pencil of spent biro, to gently rub the lettering onto the coach side. It is not necessary to rub hard, but it must be thorough and cover all the image. For the coach names, it is suggested that the strip of carrier film with the relevant name is cut out. Small strips of masking tape are fixed to each end beyond the lettering. Holding these strips of masking tape carefully position the transfer on the coach side with the backing paper still in place. When satisfied with the position, carefully remove the backing paper and rub on. Lift off the carrying film gently. Any lettering not adhering properly can be rubbed down again by replacing the film back in the original position. Push the lettering down firmly with the flats of fingers, and apply further gentle, but firm, rubbing.
Cover the lettering with the backing paper and push the transfer into any crevices etc. with the object used to rub it down initially. In the case of any slight blemishes in the lettering having occurred, they may be touched in with a fine paintbrush.
Spray the completed model with a suitable varnish using either an aerosol or an airbrush.
Use varnish sparingly in thin coats
Do not use any softening agent or similar product.
