Kit #: LM72001 - LM72004 Review by - Al Magnus
 

All the sheets are screen printed by Fantasy Printshop in the UK. Quality appears to be first rate on all sets. Register is spot on with no apparent shifting of the images. Ink density looks to be excellent and I'd be very surprised if any of the images with white or yellow inks would experience any form of bleed through from the underlying camouflage. Because they are screen printed there is absolutely no pixelization or dithering of the images as you most often get with decal sets printed using ALPS style printers.

The only exception is the two small markings on the supplementary decal sheet in the LM72004 set which have been printed on an ALPS type printer as they were done following the production run when their omission was discovered. These supplemental markings are printed in black so I would doubt very much that they will look any different than any of the others in the set once applied. I would strongly suggest though, that before use, a coat of clear varnish or something like Microscale Clear Decal Film be placed over top to ensure the ALPS decal images do not get damaged while being applied. My experience has shown that ALPS style decals do not like a lot of moving about during decaling.
