Description
Achieve perfect opacity and a professional finish with Oracover Scale Cadmium Yellow (2m x 60cm). Part of the specialized Scale Series, this film is engineered with a high-density pigment layer that offers 100% opacity, ensuring that dark wood, carbon fiber, or internal structural components do not show through the yellow finish. This makes it the definitive choice for scale replicas of classic light aircraft (like the Piper Cub) and vintage competition gliders where a vibrant, "solid" color is required.
Key Features:
- High-Opacity Pigmentation: Unlike standard yellows which can be slightly translucent, the "Scale" version features an integrated light-blocker that provides a deep, rich Cadmium Yellow finish regardless of the surface underneath.
- Multi-Directional Shrinkage: Boasts the legendary Oracover ability to tighten evenly across open-frame wings and complex cowlings without distorting the underlying structure.
- Extreme Durability: The multi-layer polyester construction is highly resistant to punctures, tearing, and the high-vibration environments of nitro and petrol-powered models.
- Fuel & Oil Proof: Completely immune to the effects of glow fuel, synthetic oils, and petrol, ensuring the vibrant yellow won't fade or "muck up" over time.
- Repositionable Adhesive: The heat-activated glue allows for multiple adjustments during the application process, making it easy to remove wrinkles before the final heat-set.
Application Temperature Guide:
| Action | Temperature Range | Expected Result |
|---|---|---|
| Tacking/Positioning | 100°C – 120°C | Film adheres to the surface; still possible to peel and reset. |
| Final Shrinking | 140°C – 160°C | Film reaches maximum tension for a "drum-tight" wing surface. |
| Detailing (Curves) | Up to 180°C | Increases flexibility for stretching around wingtips and tail fairings. |
Scale Modeler's Tip:
When covering a scale model with Scale Cadmium Yellow, always ensure your overlaps are consistent. Because of the film's high opacity, overlapping seams will be less visible than with standard transparent or semi-opaque films. If you are painting plastic parts like wheel pants to match, use ORACOLOR Scale Cadmium Yellow for a 100% factory color match.
