                        How many times have you spoiled a perfectly good build by using a poor quality decal set supplied in the kit? Other are too thin it breaks before you even take it out of the water, others are too thick it refuse to sit on rivets looking like blisters. Let us rate decals supplied in kits from your good and bad experiences with them.

                        I've not had a lot of real problems.  I'm usually pretty satisfied... well I don't have many complaints anyway.Smile [:)]  My biggest gripe is the lack of variety or limitations of the supplied sets.  How many different Big Beautiful Doll or AVG kits are there?  I'm trying to make my own decals(well see how it goes), and also using stencils.  60,000 Shermans and you get markings to do one of three.

                        I've come to the conclusion that, if I am doing an Academy kit, unless I read the decals are good, I get new ones.
