hey guys, finescale forums havent been a big help so im hoping i get some answers here!

i have the trumpeter m252 marine mortar crew set and i see it comes with a big decal sheet of the MARPAT camouflage on it. has anyone used this stuff? any advice for making it look good on the figures? i dont even know where to start on it really. pics would be a great help. thanks!

Hi brent,

these was discuss in another Thread and i hope i could help you a little bit.
Check out this link, is a great article by Pat Mcgrath here from Armorama https://armorama.kitmaker.net/modules.php?

and here is a very good how to do from TASCA Website: http://www.tasca-modellismo.com/english/item3.html

Here you cn see that the result is very good but it´s not easy to do. There are several Mediums for Decals to smooth them so you get it very flat like it was painted.

Here is for example an how to do from Michael Pino: http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/tnt1/001-100/TNT065_Decals_Pino/tnt065.htm

Hope it helps

Greetings

awesome, thanks! i was starting to lose hope that i would get a reply. i googled forever and couldnt find any answers. thanks!

Happy new Year Brent ,

no problem, your welcome. Any questions will be answerd if can help. Good look with the Decals. I will try it out by myself. I think you will need good nerves and a steady hand.

Greetings

The Trumpeter Enpart camo sheets SUCK I have tried them a couple of times and they just tear and they bubble up all the time
My advice try to create the camo on your own that is the best advice I can give if you want some pics give me a shout out

brent any luck with those decals I recently purchased those figs and now I wanted to see how it went thanks jcc

Brent,
I am a huge fan of Trumpeter,but I have to agree with Frank.
They do suck.I tried and tried to apply it and finally gave up and used paint.It's not worth your time or aggravation.
