Please help I need a some white German turret number decals in 1/35 scale,water slide only.

I have tried using Archers dry transfers but they just wont stick down.

Need white 124 numbers for this kit:


I will give who ever has any a brand new set of Archer Sherman casting numbers:


Hope someone can help as I have already painted the model.

Many many thanks
Karl

Have you tried applying the Archer transfers to there wet medium paper or clear decal paper? That is how I apply Archer transfers and have not issues.

Hi Kevin

No I did not try that but it's too late there in the bin

Funny as I had a second set of Archers for the wooly mammoth emblem and I applied it to the turret stowage bin and it went on fine.

Cheers

Sorry to hear it ended up that way. I really like the Archer stuff, but yes, the wet paper and clear film from them is a must for applying their transfers in my opinion.
