Testors Decal problems
Posted by Lancair IV on Saturday, November 14, 2009 9:51 AM

I attempted to apply the Testors issued decals on my 1/48 SR-71 and they are breaking up into pieces.  I've already destroyed several and I'm really pissed off.  Has anyone else experienced this problem with Testors decals?  I sent an e-mail to Customer Service and i hope they fix the problem....

 

Rant off

I contacted Testors about this on a kit, and they sent me some nice fresh decals.

Thanks Tom,

How long did it take them to send you the new decals, and were they much better?

This morning, I check the computer in my shop and found the e-mail I sent out, was still in the outbox.  DAM....... Banged Head [banghead]  So I hit the send button today.

I just received a phone call from Testors and she did in fact tell me that SR-71's with kit #584 are old kits and had a bad run on the decals.  She is sending not one, but two sets of decals and they should be here by Wednesday next week.

Way to go Testors......Thumbs Up [tup]

I've only had one dealing with Testors customer service and I must say they were first class. Very unusual for their declas to be bad. They are usually printed by Micro Scale and have their first rate quality.
