Description

The Tamiya Decal Scissors (Item No. 74031) are highly specialized, professional-grade precision shears engineered explicitly for cutting out waterslide decals, masking sheets, and fine paper stickers. Unlike general craft scissors, these feature micro-fine, sharp blades designed to execute clean cuts without fraying or tearing delicate decal edges.
Key Specifications & Features
  • Material Composition: Forged from premium high-carbon stainless steel to prevent rust and maintain a razor-sharp edge over long-term use.
  • Compact Blade Design: Features short, ultra-thin 11 mm blades that afford incredible visibility and manoeuvrability around complex, tight curvatures.
  • Total Length: Measures 115 mm, fitting compactly into your hand for high-precision, steady-finger control.
  • Ergonomic Grip: Finished with a smooth, comfortable plastic-coated grip loop to reduce hand fatigue during extended decaling sessions.
Performance Advantages
  • Edge Deformity Prevention: Standard scissors apply a crushing force that can tear or fold paper-backed water decals. These blades slice through the material effortlessly, completely eliminating edge fraying.
  • Tight Curved Cutting: The incredibly fine, sharp tips make it easy to cut closely around intricate lettering, numbers, and nose-art markings without leaving wide borders of transparent carrier film.
  • Zero Blade Gapping: Precision-aligned pivot points ensure uniform cutting pressure from the heel of the blade all the way to the tip.
Maintenance & Best Practices
  • Keep to Soft Materials: These scissors are strictly optimized for soft materials like decals, masking tapes, paper, and thin stickers. Never use them to cut hard plastics, copper sprues, photo-etched metal, or thick wire, as this will instantly dent or dull the precision edge.
  • Clean-up: Wipe the blades down after cutting wet or sticky media to keep adhesive residues from building up on the pivot.
