Arty hit it right on the nose....

If you don't want to apply the clear-coat, try using Solva-set, I'm building an AH-60...worked fine for me

I have not had a problem with them. I've built 2 Academy UH-60s (UH-60L and MH-60L DAP) and the decals went on just fine. Did you apply them over a gloss cote? If they are not on a glossy surface, they will not stick well and can silver badly, just like any other decal.

Academy decals

Do Academy decals suck? I applied the 'UNITED STATES ARMY' decals to the tailboom of my UH-60L and the clear portion looked like a cloudy mess. Before long they were about to fall off. I have never seen decals do that before. My fix is to paint the markings. I just wonder if there is something about these decals I don't know that may be common knowledge.
