Special Hobby Lozenge decals?
« on: August 04, 2021, 07:09:00 AM »
Does anyone know if Special Hobby's lozenge decals are transparent? I'm just wondering if I need to worry about my undercoat showing through? The decals are from SH 1/48 Phalz DXII.

Thanks, John

I noticed no one answered your question, and unfortunately, I can't give a definitive answer either, but I think it's safe to assume they are transparent.  If they aren't, you may have done some unnecessary work to prep the undersurface, but what else can you do?

They are not transparent . They are printed on white background first , shading will have to added after they are applied

Thanks Kensar! That was what I was going to need to do but it looks like Alexis has some experience with SH decal's.
