HELP! PLEASE!
I'm at the stage of applying the decades on the Tamiya Spitfire 1/48............
Question: The decals come with a separate WHITE roundel...... do I have to use these or I can just use the decals without placing the white backing?????
I would imagine that the final result will be a thick decal if the white backing is used....... And what are the purpose anyway?

Noel, the white discs act as an undercoat, especially over camouflage and you get a more accurate colour of the roundel.
