The printing quality is first class. The colors are bright, the decals are crisp and in register. There is minimal carrier film.
This is a superb decal sheet. I like the Gloster Meteor and I like these decals. All of the options are interesting and all of the aircraft are colorful. I recommend this decal sheet for all Meteor fans and I would like to thank Fantasy Printshop for the review sample.
