Older decal sheets

[kenton44]

Forgot I had this kit in my stash for atleast a decade.

Anyway , ive never had good luck with older decals ( these are from ‘74), they always seem to fall apart in water.

Is the a product that I can use to keep these decals in 1 pc?

Yes, Microscale Liquid Decal Film. It brushes on very thin - I put 3-4 coats to make sure the decal stays together.

Thanks I’ll give that a try!!

Good product. After it dries, you need to trim close to the decal as this creates a clear film.

I have used Waterslide Decal paper to make copies of decals on my Ink-Jet printer. I would make a couple of copies before I tried using the originals. Just in case.

Good Luck

I spray them with Tamiya clear, dry overnight, cut close to decal & use

That's what I've done too.
