Having built this model I know what you mean. These white decals aren't very good to use to "paint" those parts white. This model was my first Tamiya F1 so I decided to test with it a bit. I used all the white decals, with mixed results, and only had major problems with the ones on the front wing endplates. I painted them white using a Revell white paint, (not sure what #) and it turned out pretty good. I saw this model once somewhere with all the white painted and not decaled and that looked much better. Hope this helps...

Nope they aren't, the gray shines through slightly making the white a kinda strange "paint".
