The quality of
these decals is quite pleasing...they are printed by Mircoscale so that
should give you a very accurate idea of their high quality. The carrier film in nicely limited
around the decals. The decals themselves are clearly printed and in
perfect register with fine clear tiny stencils. The colour of the decals appears solid enough to
prevent paint showing through the decals.
