Im a bit worried about the decals for the mini as its an old kit & the sheet is curled up so keeping fingers crossed. .


Due to illness im disabled & home 24/7 so plenty of time to churn them out .

Look at the Tamiya Turntable Robert, you get a Table for separate bits & another Table for holding car/tank bodies... a great bit of kit.

Have not had any trouble with Tamiya decals before, but the sheets have been newer & not all curled up like these ones..

Yeah mine were old bit not curled. Some decals were split and shattered so didn't come off well at all. the hot water turned out to be essential as with lukewarm water I ruined all but one practice one. It was a revelation
