I have the AFV Club M1A1/M1A2 Abrams Anti Reflective Coating Lens set. I tried to install one of the stickers and could not get it to go on correctly. I have a large depression in the middle of a Lens sticker that I created when trying to smooth it out.
Can anyone give me any pointers on installing these correctly?

Hi Jason !

I used stickers on my Stryker (please see "My first Post" in forums) and have no problem to deal whit it.

What do you mean when you say "depression" ?

Cheers

Did you apply them to an "open" periscope? They need solid backing so they work properly

Hi, now I understood !

You really need to have a "solid" back. You can paint the back silver to enhance the effect.
