It comes as no surprise that I love the Eduard Fw-190A series of kits. Having had the pleasure of building quite a few of them, I have often remarked at the quality of the decals. These decals are printed by Eduard and typical of Eduard’s quality; these decals are actually as good as any other aftermarket decal in the world. They rival the quality of Cartograf.

The stencil decal themselves are all contained on a 4” x 3 ¾” decal sheet. The decals are crisp, perfectly printed, and in perfect register. They are suitably thin with minimal carrier film. One of the nice things is that the decals have wing walk areas in grey and black. There are options throughout the sheet, like the two different versions of black and two white versions of Nicht anfassen on the sheet. The landing gear servicing stencil is also provided in two styles.

I’ve used these decals on all the kits that have included them and they go on perfectly. They are well printed and react well with Microsol and Solvaset. They settle down in the recesses of the model perfectly.

The instructions are printed on a double-sided half-A4 sheet that is very clear and precise about the decal placement and call outs. The instructions state that they are designed for the Eduard 190As, but I’m sure they will fit any 190A.

Highly recommended.

Thanks to Eduard for the review copy and IPMS-USA for the opportunity to review them.
