Has anyone used the express mask sets put out by Eduard? They come in all kinds of configurations - the one that I'm looking at giving a try is the 1/35 German cross late pack. I figure this will cut out a lot of the frustration involved with decals - possibly the part of any model build that I fear most. Has anyone had any luck with these?
Cheers,
Cokes.

I used them,they are very nice.
I used a star mask to paint a black star on my M-60A2.I painted the black in the general area,applied the mask,then when I painted the final color,I removed the mask.I recomend a thin light coat of final color over the mask area,to avoid a paint build up around the edges of the mask..

I use the Express masks whenever possible. I like Dry Transfers, but have always opted for stencils. Once the masks became available, I didn't have to kill myself using templates. I highly recommend them.
