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 just in time for the recent 1/35 Staghound kits: this is a vehicle assigned to the 2nd New Zealand Divisional Cavalry as seen in Italy during operations in 1944. The vehicle is serial number F214127, tactical numer 5 with the name 'Bambino' in honor of its current operating area.

AR35279

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.
