Very much so, unless they break up upon first site of water    I've taken to coating mine with Klear before I even cut them off the sheet nowadays.

Ok... Guess i'll give them a coat or two of liquid decal film before use. Thanks for the heads up, Chris!

Considering what I'm going to use my AH-1W for mate you wouldnt want to buy the 35th scale one.

Personally, I have come to like the generic white decal sheet material from TL Modellbau for invasion stripes and similar things. Highly opaque. easy to cut with a sharp knife, and you can also tailor bent fuselage bands from the sheet with a proper ruler.

yeah, I'll test a small piece to see how it behaves.

Recovered a large box from my local sub post office as Parcle Force tired to deliver it yesterday

In the mail one beautiful Airfix 1/48 MK24 Spitfire 

A package from BNA was intercepted by Charlie the Wonder Dog.



A couple of stars with patriotic message have been lost.  Charlie has lost privileges and has been made to attend a re-education session  where I gave her a 45 minute lecture on how the postie is a comrade and a fellow worker who is not in league with the capitalist running possums or the bourgeoisie mice.

The rest of the consignment survived uneaten.

A print scale MiG 17 set with some interesting nationalities including Cambodia.
Eduard space PE set MiG 21
Masking set for Special Hobby Vautour II

You do realise that unless you are really careful about where Charlie poos or about cleaning up said poo for the next day or two then you'll have Australia's version of MI5 parked outside your front door on surveillance duties ?

Total hilarity here on the banks of the Severn.       

The entire concept of a bourgeois mouse boggles the mind!

I pick it up and bag it so I should be safe.
Give the current political climate PLAAF stars would have been worse...
