Bandai 5057497 - Water Slide Decal Sheet for HGUC 1/144 MS Principality of Zeon (2)  [B-5057497]

Zeon faction markings and technical stencils for HGUC 1/144 builds

The product is a water-slide decal sheet intended as an accessory for HGUC 1/144 scale models. It is designed to provide external markings used by mobile suits of the Principality of Zeon within the Universal Century timeline, the faction central to the One Year War and subsequent UC conflicts. Zeon mobile suits are depicted in-universe as military combat frames and carrier of unit and tactical identification; the decal set reproduces those surface identifiers rather than structural or mechanical components. This adaptation makes the sheet suitable for adding unit insignia, serial numbers, and technical stencil details to HGUC 1/144 builds, matching the visual language associated with Zeon forces in the Universal Century era.

Build complexity and tools

Difficulty: moderate. Basic tools such as tweezers, a shallow dish of water, a fine brush, and a sharp hobby knife are sufficient for application. A pair of soft cotton swabs or a small tissue is useful for positioning and moisture control.

Surface prep and finishing

Optional preparation steps include cleaning and, if desired, applying a gloss clear coat to the model surface to reduce silvering. After decal placement, a sealing clear coat (gloss or matte depending on the intended final appearance) will integrate the decals with painted surfaces and protect the printed film.

The decal sheet supplies a range of Zeon unit insignia and technical markings sized for HGUC 1/144 models to augment surface detail and unit identification.
