Decal slovent for Tamiya decals
Posted by jboutin on Friday, November 4, 2005 3:08 PM
I've got the A6M2 Zero kit and I applied the first few decals using micro sol/set but they didn't suck down very tight.
It was suggested to me to apply Gunze Mr Mark Softer as this one guy said he had great success with Mr. Mark Softer and Tamiya decals. I applied it to the decals I had already put on and it ate through part of the starborad fuselage hinomaru! Angry [:(!] any suggestions? I also have Solvaset as a third oftion but haven't used it in a while.

Anyway, Tamiya decals are really, really thick. I have had good luck with them by putting them on using MicroSet then at least two soakings with MicroSol. If you are not happy after one application of MicroSol, then try two.Wink [;)]

i have not had any problems with mr.mark softer together with tamiya decals.. try applying the decal with water first, then when you remove all the excess water, place some mr.softer, remove the excess too. try it on the scrap decals on the bottom of the decal sheet first! hope this helps, happy modeling!
