Takom Leopard C2

I started to apply the decals today but hit a snag in that the carrier film on the kit decals had a 'milky' consistency;


Also it was pointed out by a former Canadian Leopard commander that the right-hand decal is incorrect in that the symbol represents a mechanised infantry unit rather than an armoured one.
So the two decals have been removed however it now changes my plan on doing the specific Leopard found on the Prime Portal walkaround site. Luckily I have an Echelon decal sheet for Gagetown Leopards (where crews are trained) so it will have to be in those markings instead. Bugger......
I hope the decals in other Takom kits are better!
