Hey Guys..;i have some Bandai MG stickers that I use to customise my Suits...anyone else used them?
My question is this:
Are they just decals? the instructions demonstrates them being dipped in some kind of solution, and then applied like water transfers...but not knowing Japanese, I can decipher what the solution is...
I thought its water at first, but you can just peel them off like decals.
If theres a way of softeneing them up so they are less obvious when applied, let me know!
Sorry if this has been discussed previously...
thanks!

before i built my mg WZC i went to hobby lobby,you can buy this clear liquid and it will say decal set or something like that,it is what you use to apply to take the liquid transfers off of the sheet and apply them.
you'll know it when you see it.

Hey Madrock, sounds intriguing..can u expand on it a little? im not sure what you mean by "liquid transfers" u mean the "decal" will soften up once it has been dipped in this liquid?

Is this what you mean? ![](http://img219.echo.cx/img219/3305/10042985a8hs.jpg) ![](http://img219.echo.cx/img219/4821/10042981b4gm.jpg) I dont have any but thought that someone who can read japanese might be able to help. They look like some sort of water slide decals to me. Here is a good link to the correct application mechaworks.qsurf.org/Articles/Three/three.htmttahaj

Hey ttahaj, well yeh. they are the second series released by Bandia. The first series were for the MG Sazabi, Nu, Zak II F2 and GM. I have the instructions sheet here, but cant scan sorry...what it does show though is... 1. Cut the decal off the sheet 2. Trim off excess bits 3. Peel away from backing sheet and dip in "solution X" (Can't read Japanese!) 4. apply on the plastic 5. rub with a cotton bud 6. Voila! hehehe..now if someone can explain what the solution is in step 3 ![:D](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/grin.png)

Heya. yup thats cool info thanks! But its reference is still water slide decals. Mine are def "sticker decals" cos they already have a sticky back when seperated from the backing sheet... If I can get a scan / or photograph the instructions, Ill post it up. Hopefully someone can read Jap and explain! ![:D](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/grin.png)
