latormentabritanica Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Has anyone ever used Kora Decals before? How well do they behave? They have a lot of really interesting subjects I'd love to build. Just hoping they work well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevehnz Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 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. Steve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevehnz Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 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.
