I got around to putting the stickers on my Ramen Hunter tank today. For those who have one or are planning on getting one, I will give you an important heads up before you start: the stickers are NOT the forgiving "you can try 3 to 4 times" type that Hasbro uses. These stickers are spray painted onto a temporary adhesive backed sheet of plastic, and have a "permanent" layer of adhesive precisely applied to the back of the printed area. You peel the sticker off the sheet, align it VERY carefully with the spot you want to place it WITHOUT letting it touch the plastic, then you slam that bitch down hard and peel the plastic away. If you do it right the end result looks great like it's an actual paint app, but if you fuck up placing it you don't get a second chance. If you fuck it up badly enough you can scrape it off with your fingernail and clean it up with rubbing alcohol easily enough, but once you screw up a sticker you're not getting it back, so be very careful. The first one I tried putting down was an important sticker and I didn't get it lined up quite the way I wanted, and that's how I learned the hard way what I was dealing with, but fortunately it's not super noticeable.
I'm lucky enough to own a Brother label printer because there were a few smaller stickers that I screwed up and there weren't any duplicates. I also made a couple extra custom stickers like the US flag on the turret. They are conventional clear stickers but they look fine, and in any case you can do some really fun custom stuff for your vehicles with it so I recommend getting one if you can anyway.
