Achieve authentic carbon-look detailing with Tamiya 12680

The Extra Fine Carbon Pattern Decal from Tamiya reproduces the subtle weave and texture of raw carbon fiber, perfect for adding realistic detailing to small exterior parts on scale models.

How to trim and apply the decal sheet

The 130mm x 190mm sheet gives plenty of material for multiple pieces. It is not pre-shaped, so trim to match spoilers, fenders and small panels. Use a decal softening solution like Tamiya MARK FIT to help the film conform to curved or complex surfaces for a clean finish.

Best uses and compatible scales

These decals are aimed at static model kits in scales from 1/6 to 1/24, and are effective on both cars and motorcycles. They provide an easy path to a more workshop-accurate appearance without advanced paintwork.

Specifications

The film has some flexibility, and using Tamiya MARK FIT will make it conform much better to rounded contours. Work slowly and use soft pressure to avoid tears.
They are intended for static display models, but many modellers apply similar decals to RC lexan bodies where adhesion and flexibility allow. Test on a spare panel before full application.
Applying a compatible clear varnish can harmonise gloss levels and protect the decal. Try a small area first to confirm the varnish does not react with the decal film.
Yes. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free from oils or dust. A light scuff on glossy paint improves adhesion and helps avoid lifting after application.
