Techmodel Decals/Transfers

[224 Peter]

Has anyone positive, or negative, things to say about this Decal/Transfer supplier?

 

I have used them on two 1/32 scale kits, the Revell Typhoon and Beaufighter. 

Both kits have had Tamiya gloss varnish applied before applying the transfers. 

 

My experience:

 

1. The transfers are VERY thin -this is good!

2. The small stencilling transfers stretch and twist VERY easily

3. Micro set and Sol work well on larger transfers, such as roundels, but on smaller items seem to make the already fragile transfers self destruct.  

 

By way of contrast, the Revell and Xtradecal Transfers on the little Horton IX I finished a week or so back performed perfectly with Sol and Set on the same gloss varnish. 

 

Interested in any feedback!

Hello. 

 

If the smaller decals fall apart very easily, I would heartily recommend that you paint the decal sheet in two coats of Microscale Decal Film before using them. It's very good stuff.

 

Cheers.

Agreed... I didn't think it through.
