Small Scissors. Sharp Thinking. Flawless Markings.

The Tamiya 74031 Decal Scissors are precision cutting scissors specifically designed for one of the most delicate stages of scale modeling: preparing decals. With their compact design, exceptionally sharp blades, and fine pointed tips, they make trimming even the smallest markings a controlled and satisfying task.

The stainless steel blades feature a special fluorine resin coating that helps prevent decal adhesive from sticking to the cutting surfaces. This keeps cutting smooth and clean while helping maintain consistent performance over time.

Their compact size and fine tips make it easy to navigate around intricate shapes, tiny lettering, national insignia, and complex markings. Whether you're preparing delicate WWI aircraft decals or trimming individual markings from a crowded decal sheet, these scissors offer the accuracy that ordinary household scissors simply cannot match.

Because a beautifully painted model deserves equally beautiful markings. And sometimes the difference between good and great comes down to a fraction of a millimeter.

Key Features

• Precision decal scissors designed specifically for scale modeling.

• Sharp stainless steel blades for clean, accurate cutting.

• Fluorine resin coating helps prevent adhesive buildup.

• Fine pointed tips for trimming intricate shapes and tiny markings.

• Compact design for excellent control and maneuverability.

• Ideal for waterslide decals, printed markings, and fine paper cutting.

• Excellent for aircraft insignia, lettering, and complex decal contours.

• Durable construction for long-lasting performance when used as intended.

When trimming waterslide decals, leave a small margin around the printed design unless the application calls for cutting directly along its edge. For intricate shapes, rotate the decal sheet rather than constantly changing the angle of the scissors. This helps produce smoother, more controlled cuts.

Please Note: To preserve their sharpness, Tamiya recommends using these scissors primarily for paper decals. Avoid cutting thick materials or vinyl stickers, which can damage or prematurely dull the delicate cutting edge
