Decals

As I said in my reviews, the decals are very, very good.  With no trimming to be done, all I did was roughly cut them out and apply them.  I applied the decals of the 4./SchG-2 to coincide with the paint scheme.  Although the swastika decals are two-part, they are exact and when applied one over the other have perfect alignment.  Because the decals were so good, I didn't need to use any setting solution to get them to settle down.  With the five schemes available on the decal sheet, you will have plenty left over for the spare decal folder.  After finishing with the decals, a coat of clear flat was applied to seal everything and flatten the paint job.

Thanks, Bryan. I picked up this kit at the last 50% off Hobby Lobby sale, but haven't started it yet. Your full-build review will be very helpful when I do. Great article. Mike

Hi Bryan I got a pair of these beasties by mail order from the States (still haven't seen one over here), so your Feature is going to be ESSENTIAL reading!! :-) :-) I can't help feeling AMtech have missed an opportunity and left the job "half done"... after all the effort of adding an un-spatted u/c and commissioning a resin cockpit, it's such a shame they haven't chosen to replace a lot of the old Esci detail parts, which are pretty heavy by today's standards. I guess we should just be thankful to see an Hs123 available again :-) Nice one :-) :-) :-) Rowan
