Techmod Decals……

[ade rowlands]

Searching online peoples experiences with this brand seem to be very very varied. I’ve never used them but have found a set with som F4U-1 Birdcage schemes I’d like to have a go at. 

https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/TM32064?result-token=D3GHi judging by the serial number it seems to be a fairly recent release.

Anybody here tried Techmod stuff?

Used Techmod decals on my FAA Corsair and Hellcat models, they worked fine apart from the large wing markings which cracked up a bit, nothing that could not be fixed though. The next time that I used them I did not use decal solution.

This is what I wrote at the time on the Corsair

"Decals added (Techmod) , very brittle and they stick very quickly"

Anf the Hellcat

"Decal sheet bought to model an FAA machine, Techmod sheet 32015.

Decals added (Techmod) , very brittle and they stick very quickly, two decals broke up when wet, had to replace them from the spare sheet that I (luckily) ordered"

 

Cheers

I've used them before also on a FAA Corsair. Found them very stiff (leads to brittle) and didn't react well with solvents. I had to resort to solve-a-set to get them down properly and not 'tent' over details. Agree with the very sticky - once it touches the model, didn't want to move.

Hello all,

 

I had the same experience with Techmod decals on a 315 Squadron Mustang Mx III that I was working on a few years ago. They have accurate color depiction, but proved very delicate and cracked upon using microsol products (relatively mild compared to other decal solutions IMHO).
