Ok I have just started modeling again, after many years out. And one of my biggest problems is I can never get my decals to stick or to even look good.
Can someone please give me some tips on appling decals to my models?
Totally helpless

Never put decals on flat paints… you can clear coat some gloss, or use Future. Then apply the decals, use a setting solution, and flat, or gloss coat over the top.
Hey that great. Thanks I’m gonna go try that.
Thanks a lot

Welcome back…
Pressing down on decals with a warm wet towel afterwards give a smooth effect. not too wet though. use Humbroll Decalfix or something similar to make the decal blend in with the model
