Okay, thanks!

Lately I ordered the CAM-decals data stencils for my 1/32 USN F-4J Phantom II. Very nice decals, very crisp printing! The instructionsheet shows a warningtext that would be placed at the same location where also the left-wing roundel is located. Is this correct? Are texts printed on top of the roundel?

Just to understand it right: you add 2 droplets of dishwashing soap to Micro-Set? Everybody who replied: thanks a lot!

Yesterday I removed the damaged decals, I will buy new ones and start over again. I think I will put another coat of future on the kit before I put the next decals on. I did put a layer of gloss paint on it, but it's not very shiny. Just more a satin-gloss appearance. For the rest of the Tamiya decals I won't use Micro Sol. Only the extra CAM-decals might get some Sol.

Seems like I have to try to get the decal off and have to buy aftermarket decals :( And for this plane I'm going to use my good old method with just warm water.... Feel disappointed...

Yes, I did

I used Micro Sol on the decals of my Tamiya 1/32 F-4j. It is the first time I use it. I used in two ways: fist on decals already on the model and second with new applied decals where I first used Micro Set. The first decals are now wrinkled and have got air underneath, where they were first smooth on the kit. Even after 6 coats of Micro Sol, still wrinkles and no smooth result. I didn't touch the decals when wet and let the coats dry for hours and also overnight. The newly applied decals went a bit better, but also not very good. By far not the promissed painted on look. The decals now look li
