This decal sheet features three aircraft of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in post-Cold War civilian service. It is printed on Dr Decal & Mr Hyde Acrylic Waterslide Laser Decal Paper using a Fuji Xerox Docuprint CP225W colour laser printer, and over-coated with Microscale Liquid Decal Film. The latter is for durability only as laser inks are waterproof. As the decal film is continuous, each image will need to be trimmed out individually prior to use.

Although thicker than inkjet inks, colour laser images are still quite transparent and will not work well over dark schemes. All of the options on this sheet are in standard Soviet/Russian civilian schemes described in detail in the supplied instructions, so this should not be an issue. Other than that they should perform as well as standard industry decal sheets. If unsure/worried, use spares provided to test things like decal softening & setting solutions of choice prior to use.

The images and text have all been prepared by me during many months of research, trial & error. They are sized to the actual kits rather than measurements, and are as close as I can get them for my purposes.

These look very interesting. Let me have a shuffle through my collection and a bit of a think.
