My pref is AG for top, 5 col, 4 col and am on the fence for unders: Pegasus or AG?
What does everyone think? None of these nail it as Mark Miller's artwork did but I am curious, based on current availability. I do not care for the others as much, Eagle Strike, et al. 2¢

I like all the stuff Eagle Strike has now, both 4-and-5 color, top and bottom. AG is pretty nice, but sometimes the polygons are mismatched. Probably only on the sheets I got...
I used Pegasus 5-color on an Albatros D.III and the results were great. For me, I guess it's the mood I'm in (and if the fuse colors dictate one maker over another so there's little clash). The Pegasus went well with the red and blue Jasta 57 D.III, but I'm using ES 5-color on a Pfalz D.IIIa.

I like Pegasus for 5 colour and AG for 4 colour, the eagle strike didnt look right to me ( Its all a bit subjective any way)

I'm back to using Americal's, in fact I just ordered several sheets of each of the four and five color with the Fokker DVII's now hitting the shelves.
I used Pegasus for 5 color on the underside of a DML DVII years ago, and although I liked the colors, the overlaped polygons had a sizable ridge where the inks had overlaid each other. Americal's lays down very well when I get to curves with decal solution. I use the usually bad kit supplied decals on the interior of the cockpits and spray a mist of a linen color to denote the ink dyes bleeding through. |

Americal-Gryphon are my favourite. I also like his reverse lozenge for the inside of the fuselages. One applied and overprayed with CDL, the reverse pattern and muted colours do it for me.
Merry Christmas

I used A/G for quite some time and really liked them- I like their colours and they are easy to use. However they are also difficult to obtain (mail orders only). I use Eagle Strike now and I find them as good as A/G, although there is a subtle difference in colour with A/G. .
Anyway, you cant go wrong with either of them - both are first-class lozenge decals. |
