Drifterdon Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I ordered their sheet for the United Parcel Service livery for the DC-8-73F. Just trying to see what others thought and if there is anything I should be aware of. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Don, I ordered the UPS DC-8-71/3 sheet and a UPS 757 sheet a year ago and was deeply disappointed in the quality of the printing and graphics. The color printing was very thick on continuous clear film, so alot of trimming is required. I did not use them, but wonder if the decal would snuggle down given these qualities. Also, the tail logos are askew and the angles do not match each other from side to side. Not a quality product. I have resigned to painting the brown stripe and tail for both DC-8-73 & 757, then carefully triming and applying the UPS titles and logos, more work than I had bargained for at the price that JoyDecals asked. Can you cancel the order? R/ Dutch Edited March 27, 2017 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Thanks for the review Dutch. Kind of what I was afraid of. Unfortunately I can't cancel and believe it's enroute. Ordered from JoyDecals as well. I figured if it was bad, I'd paint the tail and cheat line brown and use the logos and tail emblem like you are going to do. Oh well, probably the only way to get a UPS stretch 8 freighter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
