Mr. Mark Setter is an adhesive component, which gives decals greater adhesion to plastic parts. It is much easier to affix decals to plastic model part where the parts either have a rough or irregular surface. First, the area to which the decal will be affixed is painted and then the decal is applied. After any air bubbles are removed by pressing on the decal with a cotton swab, a coating of Mr.Mark Setter is applied and allowed to dry. Because the decal now has a greater degree of adhesion, adhesive silvering (the floating and shiny quality of the clear parts of decals) will be greatly reduced or eliminated, and decals can be firmly affixed to uneven surfaces. It is perfect even for poorly made decals. Decals will have greater adhesion if the painted surface is prepared with a gloss finish.

Mr.Masking Sol is a special liquid gum that's different than other types of masking solutions. It dries smooth and is easy to peel after the painting is finished.  This new masking sol prevents paint absorption when applying masking solution over a large area and when airbrushing.

The Tamiya Extra-Thin Quick-Setting Cement is a great time saver for the hobby enthusiast. This thin cement dries around 4 times faster than the Tamiya Extra-Thin Cement and is perfect for small parts. Being a thin formula it is able to flow into small seams or cracks and will set very quickly. Modeling Tip:It is best to use the Quick Setting Extra Thin Cement when you are looking to glue parts together very quickly, in order to move onto the next step of the building process faster. It is also recommended that you are sure of your parts attachment and fit when using this faster setting glue. The Quick Setting Cement typically dries in under 10 seconds.NOTE: Not recommended for larger gaps or for use with elastomer (used on tank tracks) as it can cause brittleness.

A surfacer containing a primer component. [Precautions for use] Store out of reach of children and be careful not to accidentally swallow or eat. Since it contains organic solvent, improve ventilation both during painting and drying. When spraying paint, be careful not to get it on people or objects. Wear a mask and gloves during handling to avoid touching the skin as much as possible. If it gets on your skin, wash it with soapy water. In case of contact with eyes, rinse with water. If you feel sick, rest in a clean air. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience pain or changes in appearance. Cover the remaining paint and do not store it in direct sunlight, near heaters, or in rusty water or humid places in cans to prevent damage. Do not apply in places with fire. Do not use for anything other than painting.
