Sounds like the registration during printing is a little off-- typically most decals are underprinted with white to maintain color density and maintaining perfect registration is difficult. If they can't provide a better product you may just have to trim closer. |

"Not the clear film like all other decals that I have been using for over 50 years." Bet you never used any of the E. German or USSR decals from 40 yrs. ago. ;-) |

White is a difficult color for small concerns to print. As a result many smaller concerns will print on white decal film if there is white anywhere in the design of the decal and yes it is a pain. I cut as close as possible (which can be more than trying with smaller decals). I then have to sometimes touch up the edges of the decal with paint. For example I had some shoulder patches for 15/20mm figures. Once applied I had to touch up with OD the edges to get rid of the white. |

wow tons to choose from. (If you didn't know about them already). I assume you are referring to their Sci-Fi stuff because next to nothing for historical.
link Two small US and one small German sheet of items easily available from many other sources. No Russian or UK. Will keep on eye on this site as that might change. |

Yes, I don't think 5628 is in biz anymore. If my experience with their decals is what they make. I can see why they are no longer in in biz. If I would have know this I would not have bought them. Regardless, I'm working with the 5628 "decals(?)" …  I've seen Fighting Piranha stuff … pretty nice ! I bought some historical and some sci-fi from 5628. I use some historical on my Sci-fi too … 
E.g. …
Note these are not 5628 decals for the 101 … |
