Hmmmm once bitten twice shy, the ''kid with crayons'' comment best sums up my experiences also and thats doing them a compliment I reckon! Aeroloft decided they would also keep instead of returning all my rather expensive 1/48 scale decal set that I sent to them for documentation purposes ONLY to create my 1/6 scale decals. What I was sent actually finally back was pretty laughable and unusable, and I only had to pay $350 for the whole experience!!! No no never ever again for this bloke either [:'(]
I make all my own decals nowadays using water slide inkjet decal paper.....
P.S. Sean I can totally relate to your F-18 project. Its a good thing Southern Ontario winters are so long eh.... I made all of my own masks and decals for my 20th anniversary bug
Cheers- Marty
Only $350?! What a bargain.
I feel your pain. I also rec'd a nomenclature set for a 1:5 scale P-51 (pretty common model and size, don't you think?!) but not only was the quality low, but the size was wrong and they couldn't provide a placement chart. I ended up using getstencils.com and couldn't have been happier. For me, there are alternatives to Aeroloft and i'll be happy to use them. I've also have great experience with promark and tailormade.
Btw, your bug looks fantastic!! It's such unique scheme...toughest job was choosing it over a dozen other cool CAF demo schemes.
