dnl42 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I've found two potential decals sheets for a LOT Polish Airlines Embraer 170. It's the "Kraków and the Małopolska" scheme, with a fragment of Leonardo da Vinci's "Lady with an Ermine" on the tail. The two sheets, over at Airline Hobby, are here and here. Anybody with experiences with BOA Agency or Nazca? What are the pros and cons of these two? Also, the BOA Agency sheet references the Skyline kit. Is that just a rebox of the Hasegawa mold? (Or perhaps both are a rebox of something else). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kinnies Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hi David, I just completed the same plane with the same Nazca decals and they were just fantastic. It is a wonderful livery. I highly recommend Nazca. They went on well and conformed nicely using the usual setting solutions. I also recently decaled a Tu-154 with BOA Cubana decals and found them very fragile. I had to touch up a few spots that flaked off. It might have been due to my clumbsiness though. Either way, the Tu-154 now sits once again on the shelf of doom awaiting inspiration. Sorry, can't help with your reboxing question. Cheers, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 John, What kit did you use? Love to see it! Would you post some pix? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
le_boz Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hi David, I have been using Nazca decals for quite a long time now, and I have been alway happy about the result. I did some airplanes with BOA decals, and as John said they are very fragile... I had quite a good result as well, but I would still recommend you Nazca as a first choice. Enjoy modeling, Boz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFlyingDutchman Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 The Skyline-kit reference is probably just a typo as they never (re)issued an E170. Only Hasegawa and Authentic Airliners do. Maybe they forgot to change that field after they made a decal sheet for Skylines' 737. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 That could be. I have only been able to find the Hasegawa plastic and the Authentic Airliners resin. Also, I found the Nazca web site, and they reference Authentic Airliners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kinnies Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hi David, It was the Hasegawa kit. I haven't gotten around to taking pics yet, but plan to in the next little while. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 Just ordered the decals from Nazca. I'm going to be in Kobe in a couple of weeks, wonder if I can pick up the Hasegawa kit then? I found an example of the Hasegawa kit withe the Nazca decals here; looks good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 Just received the Nazca decals. EX-CEL-LENT! Along with the actual livery, a sheet of panel, engine, and other details are provided that will really make this model shine! Thank You Nazca team! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
