What “Aztec Decals” Are

“Aztec” decals refer to the complex, multi‑tone panel patterns seen on Starfleet starships. These subtle geometric variations simulate hull plating and surface texture—details that are extremely difficult to replicate with paint alone. 

Contents & Features

• Five large decal sheets of paneling patterns
• Extensive hull coverage for most of the model’s surface 
• High‑quality water‑slide decals for precise application
• Authentic surface detailing matching the on‑screen Cerritos 
• Packaged with protective backing and anti‑mark materials to prevent damage

 Application & Modeling Benefits

• Designed to lay flat and conform to compound curves and engraved panel lines when used with decal‑setting solutions 
• Provides crisp, uniform paneling detail that is nearly impossible to achieve by hand painting
• Helps create a professional, studio‑scale appearance on the finished model
• Recommended to seal with a clear flat coat after application to blend decals and protect the surface

 Who It’s For

• Star Trek model enthusiasts and collectors
• Intermediate hobbyists (often rated around Skill Level 2) looking to upgrade detail 
• Builders seeking screen‑accurate paneling for display‑quality results

Summary

The Polar Lights MKA72 Aztec Decal Set is an essential upgrade for the 1:1400 USS Cerritos model, supplying finely printed, water‑slide decals that replicate the ship’s intricate hull paneling. By covering most of the surface with subtle tonal variation, the set transforms a basic build into a highly realistic, display‑grade replica worthy of any Star Trek collection.
