Reissued kit decal problem - question

[donculley]

Has anyone had problems with decals from reissued kits ? Last night I tried to put some of the flame decals on my Stingaree and they just disintegrated. I opened up another one of the Stingarees I had and the same thing happened ! I remember I had similar problems on my Infini-T kit and my Boss Nova kit. Now I've been building kits for a long time and I'm sure I know how to put decals on- am I missing something, or is the quality of the decals going down on the reissues ?

The Stinaree, and Infini-T decals are garbage. For some reason whoever made those decals went backwards in time. The decals on my Stingaree cracked, and tucked under so bad that I just chucked 'em, and went with a different solution. The decals in the new Round 2 kits are fantastic, and the decals in John's Trick Trike series were great as well, but the decals in those two kits, and a few of the Model King reissues (Like the Boss a Nova) were sub par.

I just finished my Stingaree kit (as seen in the Completed Section of the forum), but I used my own homemade decals. The kit I used was the latest Round 2 reissue and the decals look nice. They are yours if you need them, just let me know.

I had the same problem with the Deals Wheels Z28. I put it down to them being old stock they had left over

I wish I had known about the Infini T decals. I was finishing this for the last contest and had to go to Hobby Lobby and buy another kit, just for the decals. I was able to get the second set on without them falling apart. Something else that bothered me about both sets, look at the second "i" in "infini" No black outline.

I hope the decals for the reissue graveyard duo, are alright.
