They're your typical water transfer plastic model decals, fileasfog. They're fairly easy to work with particularly since the model has a nice smooth finish. I recommend a quick surface wash before decalling though, just to remove any oils and aid decal adhesion. And you can't beat the price from Squadron!

Those decals really make for an upgrade.! I'll have to get some of those.

For anyone interested, Squadron.com has Finnish decals on sale right now (through Oct 31) and I got the Bf-109 set (AU7003, just 49¢!!) to decal my Buffalo. Check it out - sure makes for one handsome little bird (one of Altaya/IXO's best IMHO....)

(And by the way, the Finns did very well vs the Russians with this little machine....)

That looks great no4 That's what I want to do as soon as IXO reissues it.....soon I hope!

I wish more companies did Finnish planes.

squadron.com has a great selection of decals from all different makers. I've been doing business with Squadrn Shop since 1970!!

Ok, I bought a set of Finnish decals (AU7003 at squadron.com). I'm all ready for the Buffalo. You hear me IXO I'm waiting for you to reissue the Buffalo

Now that I have the decals they'll probably never reissue it

Complicated ? Hmm....Pardon me, you have hands, donto you ?

[fileasfog]

I repair accordions so I guess I do have hands, however I was traumatised in my youth, by those wet decals that would tear or be misaligned etc...
Maybe decal technology changed since I was ten.

Just got in the door alittle bit ago from the Orlando Ale House. Had a nice black and tan brewski(s) along with some spicy "buffalo" wings. Made me think of the cute little Buffalo by IXO.

Oh...sorry, this thread was on the Brewster Buffalo...misread it and thought it first said "BREWSKIS & BUFFALOS". ME so sorry.
