I find the Archer shoulder boards have been eclipsed by the new Tamiya Afrika Korp/SS decal set. Sorry but the pain of having to use the wet media paper is not present with that product. I really wish Archer would drop that methodology for straight up decals. They did it for their tatoos and eyeballs.

Thanks, Deathdork, for the post. I would say "to each his own." I find the wet medium paper easy to use and accurate in placing the decals. These really are the best of the Archer items IMO.
