Upgrade Zeon MG 1/100 Kits with Accurate Decals

For builders who want to add authentic detail to Master Grade (MG) 1/100 scale models, the Bandai 5057489 Gundam Decal #17 is a practical choice. Made for Principality of Zeon mobile suits, these water slide decals let you add crisp insignias and unit numbers that match the Mobile Suit Gundam aesthetic.

Sheet Contents and Basic Application Steps

The decal sheet contains a broad selection of Zeon emblems, numbers, and small markings crafted for clear placement. Application is done with water-soaked decals, and while careful handling is needed, the process is straightforward. Make sure parts are clean and dry, and use a soft brush or cotton swab to seat the decal and remove any trapped air for a flat finish.

Skill Level and Recommended Tools

Applying these decals suits modelers at a normal build level who pay attention to fine detail. Useful tools include tweezers, a hobby knife for trimming, and a soft cloth for smoothing. With basic patience, even newcomers can achieve neat results.

Surface Preparation, Painting and Sealing Advice

Lightly sanding glossy areas helps the decals adhere better. After positioning, protect the decals with a clear topcoat to reduce lifts and wear. Adding panel lining around decals can improve contrast and highlight surface detail.

The Bandai 5057489 Gundam Decal #17 is a useful accessory for anyone finishing MG 1/100 Principality of Zeon kits, giving models more authentic markings and a polished appearance.
