I am also sad to see the demise of Champ decals. I always used both Champ and Microscale, and found that each had its advantages and disadvantates. (Aside from the fact that each one used a different decal setting fluid.) I thought Champ had the most intricate detail and the best color. Microscale had the thinnest film which meant that there was less chance of seeing the decal edges once the overcoat is applied. The downside is that Microscale decals were a bit fragile and could break or twist on you. Microscale decals were not as precise in their printing (color overlap) nor was the color as accurate. Today, I think Microscale has improved its quality, and for sure they are constantly introducing new ones to keep current.
