1/35th Decal Sheets
Polish Shermans Part 1,2,3

Reviews by Terry Ashley
These new 3 decal sheets from Hussar Productions feature markings for Polish Shermans of WWII.
The decals feature nice printing with good colour register, the carried film is one full block covering the entire sheet requiring you to cut out the individual decals as you need them. This isn't a problem if you use a sharp blade and allows you to trim the carrier film close to the printed edge.
I have found that by holding the blade at a 45° angle when cutting will avoid a noticable "step" at the edge of the decals which can show up when drybrushing.
Each set has good instruction sheets with plan views of the vehicles showing the marking placement as well as cam diagrams for those Shermans not in overall Olive Drab.

The three sheets feature the following Sherman markings, click on the sheet thumbnail to see the sheets:
Note: The colours on the sheet scans are slightly darker than they actually are as the scans were darkened a little to show the white markings.
