Achieve Tidy Decals with Tamiya Mark Fit

Tamiya 87102 Mark Fit provides a simple way for hobbyists to get decals to follow complex shapes on scale kits. By softening the decal film it improves conformity and makes it easier to seat decals over rivets and seams. The 40ml bottle comes with a built-in brush for neat, controlled brushing.

Using Tamiya Mark Fit Step by Step

  • Prepare the Surface: Apply a thin layer of Mark Fit where the decal will sit, ensuring the surface is free of grease and dust.
  • Position the Decal: Place the decal on the wet area and slide it into precise alignment using a damp fingertip.
  • Secure the Decal: Gently press down with a soft cloth or cotton swab to remove any surplus liquid and air pockets.
  • Final Application: Brush another thin coat of Mark Fit over the entire decal, working it into any recesses, then press gently again.
  • Drying Time: Allow ample drying time, ideally overnight, before any clear coats or handling.
When used as directed it should not harm properly cured paints. Test on a scrap or hidden area if you are unsure about a particular paint or finish.
Yes, the brush lets you apply thin, precise amounts which is ideal for small decals and tight panel lines.
Ensure the surface is clean and use a glossy base or varnish under the decal. Removing trapped air and moisture with a soft pad also reduces silvering.
Warm conditions speed drying, so work efficiently and avoid letting the solution skin over before positioning the decal. Cooler, controlled conditions give more working time.
Carefully remove the damaged decal and replace it, or if small, use a tiny amount of clear varnish to mask imperfections after drying.
