Howdy! I have found myself the guest of honor at a butt-whoopin', and sure could use some advice.
I'm building an Academy 1/32 scale Camel for a client. It's going okay, but today I started the decals. The roundels are in 3 or 4 layers. The bottom layer is white, and is pretty opaque. When I put it down on the ribs of the upper wing, it just wrinkled up and darn near crawled off the wing! Neither Micro Sol nor Set did the trick. I thought it was going to snuggle down, but when it dried, about 80% of it had lifted. 3 iterations didn't help.
I'm putting the decals on a good gloss coat. Are there better decals than the Academy kit sheet? Is there a technique that will get 'em to flatten out?
