    Xtradecal decals - any good ?

    Hi guys , don`t normaly build aircraft but with so many great spitfires and other aircraft being built on here lately its given me the right bug and everyone loves a spitfire so I`ve ordered the tamiya 1/48 vb and a few other bits from John and have also ordered some xtradecal decals - paint masks and the eduard basic cockpit seatbelt pe kit , are these decals any good as I would like to make the vb with either Biggin hill or Kenley markings as apart from Croydon these are the closest ww2 airfields to me.

    Cheers

        All my swastikas are Xtradecals and i've never had a problem with them at all.

          The quality is good but check the colour if there are any Icons or graffiti. I have found a couple that had the wrong colour!!!

          They go down well and are nice and thin. The register is usually top notch!

            Ive used a lot of these decals over the years and found them to be very good.The only problem i have had is with some of the RAF dark blue and red wing roundels.occasionally i've had them with a very thin white outline around part of the circumference of the roundel.Not too big a problem.You just have to cut closely around the edge of the decal with a pair of scissors before dipping it in water.
