I like them. However, they do not work well on zim finishes. Otherwise, I am pleased with them.

Im actually wondering if they work well on uneven surfaces like a curved panel, or a turret.

Yeah, they bend very easily. How do you use the sponge I have'nt heard that before.

I use the German ones alot.. I actually like using them better than decals.. The key to using them on zimmerit is to use "light" coats of paint when you spray.. I typically tape the template in place or just hold it with my fingers.
