Dont know if they have changed any but the ones I used in the past were kinds thin so you should double them up. If they had come with white underlay sheet they would have been fine. Like I said that was a few years ago and they might have changed their process. |

They are thin. Sometimes not as accurate . But they do have a lot of schemes not found anywhere else. _________________ Matt |

If they are thin, can a modeler add the Microscale Liquid Decal Film to them to be more manageable? Will that work?
For another project, I am picking some up tomorrow, as some Tamiya decals are fragile and need to salvage them. |

By thin they mean the both the paper (which has its +/-) and the depth of the color. Sometimes you may need to have a second set and double up the decals to get the proper opaqueness. Liquid decal film would make the decal thicker but will not solve the color bleed issue. |

I built this 10 years ago but I'm pretty sure these are Winscals decals and I dont believe I doubled them. But I could be wrong. I think the wip went away with either this web site when it died or scale auto.

I did some checking at model car magazines archives and I was wrong these are D.A.P. decals and I did use 2 sheets. |
