Review: Exito Decals from Poland
I'm sure you all heard or read about this new decal manufacturer elsewhere, but I got their brand new sheet Wulf Pack pt1and the quality presented raises the bar on the decal AM niche. As you can see in the photos it comes in a A4 size card envelope contain not only the Decals (Cartograph made) but full color drawings in several angles from the 3 FW190s you get. For around €10 I feel it's probably the best choice around if you want to build an A-3, A-4 or A-5 version of this famous fighter. I know I'll be building the 3 in the near future. This decal sheet was paid from my very own pocket, along with a few other goodies from a very good polish online hobby shop. BTW, Exito in Portuguese means success, which I believe this brand deserves.
Looks good Pedro, I particularly like the 3rd 190 on the sheet. Will keep an eye out for it. Lucky that I know a shop here in So Cal that carries a lot of the unusual and unique decal sheets world wide. Thanks for the quick review, looking forward to your next few Fw190 builds.
Thanks Chuck, I’m sure this brand will be available from some hobby shops in the US. By third you’re pointing at the A-5 right? It’s a beauty 😉
I’m inclined to go to the A-4 version first. That highly unusual mix of codes and call signs makes it irresistible
Thanks, Pedro - got me in the mood for a Butcher Bird. I have these ‘topcolors’ (cartograf) decals just lying around in the kitchen - of all places, (maybe someone trying to tell me something) just waiting to be used. LOVE that winter ‘tiger stripe’ scheme in the first photo.
David, that A-8 is quite awesome, a teal challenge for a fine needle and a steady hand, go for it!
Those TopColours are also excellent value for money, I have one for late WW2 jets (used those to build my Heinkel Salamender), and cal quality is top notch- cartograph as these from Exito.
The one in the book cover, with the fox insignia, what A version is it?
Those "Foxy ladies" were early Antons on the Channel front from Jabo/JG 2 (10./JG2 IIRC). Should be A-3 or A-2. FOx is carrying wrecked ship in the jaw.
Nice selection. I get a lot from Poland: oddball resin kits that no one else does, photoetch and other similar. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome Rob, thanks for the comments.
