Tamiya F-51d decals?
Posted by Theuns on Sunday, February 15, 2015 12:15 AM

Anyone built the Tamiya 1/48 F-51d Mustang kit with the supplied decals ?? 

I have read a review stating that they are unusably bad.

Would be nice to know before I start with them.

Thanx

Yes, I just built one.

No problems as I could see.

Cool thanx.

Did they go down well or did you need loads of micro set/sol?

I think some reviewers are overly snooty about decals. I have never had a problem with any Tamiya decals myself over all the years. They may not be the best out there, but they are not the worst either.

I totally agree with you, In this case he showed pix of the decals that broke up in the water, even the replacement ones from Tam did the same.....maybe a dud batch.

I have relatively good results with Tam decals.
