To me I dump them in water, put a little bit of glue, and stick them their. Very primitive.<br /><br />Good luck on finding a solution!<br />FFFriendlyFirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989874198292993945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2282023973761006945.post-58804682054413115322013-01-19T16:10:49.151+00:002013-01-19T16:10:49.151+00:00I do have access to an air brush, and will be tryi...I do have access to an air brush, and will be trying it out this week. But my problem lies with applying decals. I don't like mixing enamel and acrylic products, but an acquaintance of mine showed me a great way of hiding the edges of the decals using a gloss and then a matt coat of something over the top. But he used acrylic, Citadel products for it. So I bought the Humbrol enamel friendly Gloss-cote and Matt-cote. But the Matt-cote isn't very matt. So now I am stuck.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10496041431255513375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2282023973761006945.post-56791178080864720812013-01-19T04:41:32.417+00:002013-01-19T04:41:32.417+00:00Wow!

Remember to have fun with them.<br /><br />Also, I'd recommend either using enamel sprays (Tamiya or Testor for example), or to go all out and buy an airbrush, for your vehicles. Not that your's look bad, but it's a lot less painstakingly long and hard to paint when you spray them (rather than brush paint them).<br /><br />FFFriendlyFirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989874198292993945noreply@blogger.com
