Waterslide decals are printing on a backing sheet that releases in water and transfers to the model, and these are the one part of the association's output that improves kits you already own. The sheets deliberately cover schemes a standard kit box does not carry: captured machines in foreign service, less usual markings, and specific documented actions including Czech ones. The range divides by what the markings go on, ground vehicles or aircraft, and within each by the scale of your model.
Each packet contains the printing only, so the kit, the paints and the varnish are bought separately. The sections below set out what each group covers.

Armour sheets concentrate on tactical numbers and markings for medium tanks in several production versions, together with self-propelled guns, command vehicles and anti-aircraft guns, plus vehicles taken into foreign service and carrying two layers of insignia. Aircraft sheets run from carrier torpedo bombers through dive bombers across several theatres to Soviet biplanes, carrier fighters and their British counterparts. A third kind of product sits alongside them: universal sheets of raised panel lines and smooth weld seams in high relief, which add surface detail to any kit rather than markings to a specific one.
A decal is the one accessory with no tolerance for a scale mismatch. Armour sheets are offered in 1:35 and 1:72, aircraft sheets in 1:48 and 1:72. Check the kit box before anything else.
Marking sheets replace or supplement what came in the kit, and they are worth buying even for a kit that already has decals, because box markings for unusual variants are usually the weakest part of the package. Relief sheets are a building material and go on early, onto bare plastic, before painting.
Everything rests on the surface underneath. A gloss coat from the varnishes section gives the film something to lie down on and prevents silvering; a matt base will show every carrier edge. Float the decal into place on water, press the air out from the centre, and use a setting solution to pull it into panel lines and over curves. Seal with a second clear coat so the edges disappear, and leave washes and dust until after that.
The association's resin models and figures are listed under ŘOP.
