I've used them only once on a Finnish Hurricane build. I would recommend to put a white backgound to areas where there're over dark camo etc, they seemed to be a bit translucent. I'm not sure if they're laser or ink jet printed, they tend to be a bit pixelly & they are printed on one sheet so need cutting out. Other than that they handled just like normal decals & went down fine.

Well that's a shame. They have some great subjects I would have really enjoyed building.

I would agree with steve. I used a couple of set of LF decals (one of Kora's decals lines), and the white is weak on dark colors. I would also suggest having pictures of your subject, The Uruguayan F6F set was missing the anchor on the underside IIRC..

That looks good John, I must say the white bits don't look too bad over the dark sea blue, better than I would have imagined. My earlier experiences with the Finnish Hurricane markings haven't stopped me buying others sets, mainly Finnish & Belgian, at the end of the day they are the only game in town for some subjects.
