Recieved! EVERYONE USE THE TEST LETTERS! Get used to how these dry transfer because there's definitely some finesse to it. That said I should have gotten two sheets lol but I got all of the ones that were missing done and I'm more than happy about it.

@Eric951Noel, thank you, happy you liked it.
I strongly promote using the TEST letters first to get acquainted to the product.

I know most of us do not like to follow instructions too close, but believe me, if there was no reason to add the T E S T letters to the kit, I would not have done it.

Got mine in the mail! Haven't messed with the test letters yet, but they look awesome.

Do you know if I can spray the clear coat through my airbrush?

@Darwin yes you can, but there is really no need. The supplied water based clear has excellent self leveling properties, and is easier to apply in small surfaces with a brush.

I tend to mix most acrylic paints that I use on my models with Mr. Hobby leveling thinner to make sure things smooth out nicely. I'll do a trial to see if it doesn't mix well, but I'm sure it will. I'm more comfortable with airbrushing than anything. Thanks for the awesome decals!

@Darwin just make sure it is satin or flat, they (switches) look terrible if the clear is gloss.
The Urethane I supply is water based, not solvent, but the decals should not suffer is painter over with a solvent based paint.

We are planning a group buy with Tom, last time I believe they sold for $35 in the group buy.
Let's see what we can do in a couple days.
