Those of you who've been modeling a while are familiar with the Archer Fine Transfers' line of markings. What is especially nice with Archer's products is that they are dry transfers, so you don't have to gloss coat your armor model just to avoid the ever-present threat of decal silvering which is common to waterslide decals that are applied to flat or rough paint surfaces. Simply rub these on and press on with your weathering.

Here is a new release from Archer's prolific line-up: these are the instruments and placards for the M4 High Speed Tractor, just in time for the Hobby Boss kits. This set is nicely laid out so you can render two different tractors, plus this set includes instruments for the M26 Dragon Wagon prime mover, so you can kill two projects with one set. Nice!

Overall these are all great sheets as we have come to expect no less from AFT, and they have not disappointed.

My sincere thanks to Archer Fine Transfers for this review sample.
