I always use this: http://chicagolandtoysandhobbies.com/So ... 7AodZzcAug

When I lived in the UK I used the Microsol and Microset solutions, but they don't compare to this, IMHO.

I've built 8 models to date, this year, since getting back into modelling and I've watched videos of other peoples builds wherein they have complained about the decals being a real pain in the you know what on the same models that I have built, but I didn't have issues. They had cracking, silvering, wrinkling etc, but I didn't experience anything like that....fortunately. One model in particular that I've heard a few people complain about is the Tamiya 1/48 Royal Navy Sea Harrier FRS1, complaining that the roundels on the sides of the aircraft don't go down well, that they are too thick and glossy, that they crack or crease. I had no problems, they went on as easy as applying to a flat surface?!

If you go to my youtube channel and look at any of my builds, the decals look painted on...no silvering anywhere.

I don't know whether "Walthers" is available in the UK....but I'd never use anything else.

Hope this is helpful?

Cheers,

Martin

If you can`t find micro sol & micro set anywhere else (I tried a couple of weeks ago and every online shop I went to was sold out)

I did find a shop on ebay in the UK that have it in stock now and sent it out no problem, the ebay user name was Kitlady and the shop is an actual shop in Preston called Transport Models Ltd.

The ebay link for the shop is

Just throwing it out there
