Wow, this is some love in. I know Archer has a great reputation and they do
a great service to the hobby with the diversity of offerings...but I have
heard some people say they had problems applying them...and, from my
perspective, they are very very pricey.

When you buy an aircraft kit you can get aftermarket decal sets that in most
cases let you appoint an entire aircraft. But with Archer you need to buy
one set of transfers for German crosses, another set for DAK symbols (one
sheet for black and another sheet for white), then you have to buy separate
sheets for air recognition flags, numerals with blue centers, another sheet
for numerals with red centers, oh and there are the sheets with license
plates before 1943 and then a set for after....get my drift?

But like obscenely expensive aftermarket track sets the transfers only
competition is from those modelers who choose not to use them and no one is
pointing a gun at our heads forcing us.
