I have not had problems putting lacquer over enamel, provid-
ing the enamel is completely dry and there is no smell left on
the painted surface.
Once the gloss is dry, it is time to apply the decals. In the past
I have had problems with old decals breaking up when trying
to apply them. Now, as a precaution, I use a wide, soft brush
to apply a coat of Microscale Liquid Decal Film over the decal
sheet to be used. You might say once bitten, twice shy. In any
case, decals in these kits are probably not what you are used
to. They’re not like Microscale decals where the decal carrier
film is located close to the design. The carrier sheet on these
decals usually covers the whole sheet and you need to cut out
the decals individually as close to lettering as you can. You will
need a good pair of sharp scissors for this, or a new blade in a
hobby knife.
