Would be nice in titchy scale but sublime in 1/32 — I'd even brave the masking required for that geometric dapple of greens & tan. Tony Sadly, I’m my dreams. I just fancied starting a mischievous rumour. Tony T and Chek 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some years ago we used to say a 1/32 Mirage 2000 will never happen. But it will most likely not be Tamyia ... Edited May 8, 2020 by discus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
is it windy yet? Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 On 5/4/2020 at 10:33 PM, AlbertD said: Not a rumour but more of a wish. I wish Tamiya would start putting decent decals in their kits. I have yet to build one with good decals. I'm building an Eduard Mig-21 Weekend kit with their own decals and they are wonderful. Why can't Tamiya do that? Tamiya does do pretty good decals the just seem to make it into the aircraft kits. Their motorcycle kits have great decals. I put some decals on the 1:48 Sherman tank and these were some of the best tank markings I have ever used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbk57 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I don’t think Tamiya decals are as bad as made out. I have used them to satisfactory result. I am more likely to replace national insignia and use aftermarket aircraft markings instead of doing out of the box but their stencils that come in the box, instrument decals and many of the others I will use. I have also though used their national insignia and been okay with them. Lothar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpgsbody55 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Here's my prediction for the next Tamiya release. It will be a 109E, and it will be released about a week after the Battle of Britain GB finishes .

I have also though used their national insignia and been okay with them. I have heard the way to get the best of them is to use Mr. Mark softener products. Supposedly they melt the thick coating down. I have never played with them, though, as I typically replace them as their thickness scares me and I usually want different markings anyway. I really should try that method, though, just so I know. Also, I swear I have seen Cartograf decals in some of their kits? Like maybe in some of the F-4 kits and 1/12 car models?

Dave Williams Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I think their F-4C/D kits came with Scalemaster decals, which had a horrible red color for the stars and bars insignia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mr. Mark Softer route works indeed very well with thick decals. I apply some Mr. Setter first, apply the decal, let it sit for a while then apply Mark Softer with a soft wide brush evenly, repeat that after a few minutes. I've never been disappointed going that route. MikeMaben, Dpgsbody55, John1 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
