Panda Models F-35 - - - STICKERS!?!?!?!?

Holy crap. Why bother making such a well-made airplane model (if a bit inaccurate) and stick us with peel-and-stick markings? I’m mortified. [:(!] Glad I have some F-16 aftermarket sheets to scavenge.

Are they really “Peel and Stick” ? I looked at them when I first got the kit and couldn’t tell if they were stickers or just really bad decals. I was afraid to give them a try.

I thought they were decals, but I’ll check again.

Nope, they’re peel-and-stick printed on shiney clear vinyl.

That’s just plain wrong.

I hope they shape-up their act before the release their 1/35 Chinooks and their 1/32 B-17s. Does anyone know if Panda has done this on their other a/c; like their 1/144 B-1? [:)]

??? That IS just plain wrong. Vinyl? YEEEESH! Thank goodness for Eagle Strike and Aeromaster and…

Okay, hang on. I gotta learn to look more closely before I go public [B)]

The decal sheet IS apparently waterslide decals, but they’re very high gloss, and the sheet is covered with a thick clear acetate protective sheet that lifts off. It was easy to mistake it for a sheet of stickers without looking closely. Sorry, folks.

Quite all right! [:D] My dad got the F-35B (I’m still waiting on the “C”…) and I opened it. We both thought at first that they were stickers too, until we realized that they were decals! I just hope that the decals on their 1/32 Hornets are of better quality.

DANG!!! And I just sold my JSF to Butz!!!
