The decals are the normal water slide type again printed by Microscale with the colour register spot on and thin carrier film cropped close to the printed image which will help during decal application.
The patches and insignia are provided in both light green and tan backgrounds depending on the uniform type as well as full colour US flags to use in place of the Green and tan if required. There are also MP armbands (or brassards) in both green and tan with and without the MP lettering as well as the fine inscriptions in arabic (suitable for OIF/OEF).
You also get a selection of personal name tags plus separate very fine individual letters with blank name patches to make any name if you wanted to create a figure of actual past or present serving personnel to add the personal touch or to pay tribute.
Insignia is included for the following units;
When applying unit and rank insignia to figures I use a different method than
the usual water slide application method.
After cutting the decal as close as possible from the sheet I moisten the backing
sheet only until the decal separates and then apply with a brush a small section
of matt varnish where the decal will go. While still wet I then apply the dry
decal and lightly press in place, this eliminates completely any silvering
and sticks the decal in place but you do need to be precise in decal placement
as there is not a lot of movement available but this is not a major problem
with uniform insignia.
Highly recommended 8.5/10.
Thanks to Larry of Echelon Fine Details for the review sample.
