Roy McKay If anyone has the modeldecal sheet listed in the project and can spare the 43Sqn decals please get in touch.. I'd like to recreate the Roy Huxley boxart example.
Treehugger Although there is a more stronger decal solution like Solvaset, you should imo try less stronger stuff like Microsol, and then if it doesn't work the first time, try again, a couple more times. Decals must be undisturbed after becoming wrinkly, they will straighten out when drying out.
It is also important that, if you add a gloss coat to the model before adding decals, that any sanding goo left in the panel lines ought to be cleaned out with a brush, else that stuff will keep clogging the panel lines after gaving sealed it all with a layer of gloss coat. This also relevant for sanding the gloss coat, before adding another layer, the dust settle in the panel lines and must be removed before adding another layer of gloss coat.

Urban Gardini I can recommend Daco's strong solution as that haven't let me down yet.
Roy McKay I need to revisit this at some point. The Nimitz, VMFA-333 titles and the last 4 of the Bu no on the top of the fuselage sides are all too big, a Microscale error from back in the day. (you should see the nat insignia, looks like 1/32 scale..) Apparently a new set is on the way from ZDH decals and also possibly from HADmodels. Whenever they are released, I'll be redecalling this model, as even after 20 odd years I'm really happy how the build turned out.
