Lucas C.
I finished this kit last week and, although the kit itself is pretty decent, the decals are horrible. They don't conform even to the most gentle curves, don't stick well, and have a tendency to silver even when applied on gloss surfaces with plenty of setting solution. I had to use a hair dryer to get the shark mouth decals to settle down. I suggest sourcing the decals elsewhere.
