Cheers Andrew. Yes they do, don’t they….they are pretty good before they are stripped to be honest, but stripping them adds a little extra.

Very, very nice, Tim.
John.

Thanks John, appreciate it :thumb2:

Cracking stuff Tim,a real eye catcher ,
As Andrew said,those decals look very natural, there's something about that overall colour too, really like that shade :thumb2:,
Thanks for joining in on the GB, I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed building this one up so much,after your Avenger experience!!

Thanks Andy. It was a much more trouble free build compared to the Avenger. The shade was just the mix recommended by Eduard, but it seems pretty much spot on to me. As I said, an excellent kit!

Just a quick question....

Have a look at the Eduard decal thread I posted here Andy.

The Eduard decals are made in such a way that the carrier film can be stripped off just leaving the ink on the model.

Cheers Mike. Out of the box compared to your stuff, but fun nevertheless. As to feathers, another thirty years and I’ll have a headdress

Just make sure your Eduard decals are 2020 or newer. You’ll strip the decal right off otherwise
