Thanks!

Thanks for the honest and thorough review. The definitely would come in handy, to bad the quality isn't the greatest according to your review.

yes thank you for the review!

maybe this is not the right place to ask (or maybe this question has been already been answered), but why on earth one has to buy propaganda poster since one can download them the for free from the Internet, scale them down and self - print them, remains for me a mistery...

The quality is not bad at all, but I want purchasers to understand the strengths and weaknesses. Some of the posters look better than others, however the price overall is modest enough that you can't go wrong with a set.



The tricks are in the paper (it has to be extremely thin, not ordinary printer paper), and the resolution has to be very high, otherwise you get a muddy blotch.

It's similar to pre-shading and color modulation: we're working in 1/35th scale, so ordinary shadowing and color ranges don't apply with small vehicles and dioramas.

You can make your own, but why bother? These are cheap and accurate for the most part.

OK, Thanks for clarifying. I guess I will have to pick up a set.

ah! ok!
now I understand a bit better... I guess I'll have to try them first hand

thank you
