Archer is the manufacturer of excellent dry transfers for armor
models. These are decals that you do not have to spray gloss coat,
wet them, use snuggling liquids and then spray dull coat to use.
You just position them and burnish them down with a pencil or other
blunt instrument. They are permanent then and have no carrier film
to worry about. They look like they have been painted on. Archer
has a vast number of various marks for armor kits. They are always
in register and sharp in detail.
This latest sheet goes hand in glove with their sheet of German
dash board instruments, reviewed on here elsewhere.
This new small sheet has a variety of information placards on
it, printed in silver and black. They are in various sizes and
there are 41 of them on the sheet.
The set comes in a cello-bag, backed by a still card and a sheet
with an illustration of a general layout of how these placards
might go in a German soft-skin or tank.
My
example was trimmed a little crocked at the bottom, but it did
not get into the images.
They will really dress up a couple of models that I am currently
doing of 2 different German command cars.
I highly recommend this new sheet to all German armor modelers.
I sincerely want to thank Archer
Fine Decals for this review sample.
