Hey

I've got a set of modern US figures from Trumpeter that have the camo decal. Any one used these and if so how have they worked?

Thanks

Hi Blake,

The first Trumpeter figure set I bought with the decals,I thought was going to save alot of time.The desert camo didn't look right,but I thought I would try it.I used setting solution and softner on them.Long story short,they were a nightmare.They fall apart constantly and after maybe an hour I decided that paint would be less stress.I've read a few posts were decals have turned out very well.It may be the Trumpeter are poor quality.There is a very good tutorial at this site http://www.modelarmour.com/index.php.
Good luck.
Let us know if you have better luck.

Tom
