Tamiya Decals suck?

[Stuart]

I've always found Academy decals to be thick. IN all my 1/72 scale Tamiya kits, the decals have all been too thin, sometimes even shattering on the decal sheet while soaking. I built a Tamiya F-84 that had the noise decal shatter into four parts, the tail into nine and the rest into numerous parts. It made a five minute decal job turn into an hour's work just piecing them all together on the model!

Yeah that happened to one of the Rodeo decals on the side.
