How to apply a Bowman decalHi everyone,
I'm nearly at the stage where I want to apply a decal to the re-painted base plate of my M167. I only have one decal so got to get it right first time.
Does anyone have any hints or tips as to the best way to do this.
Many thanks
Pete

...just to add, forget about the decal setting solution, you only need that if you were to put the decal on an uneven surface like wood. It's a mild concentration of acetic acid, I'm pretty sure white vinegar would do the trick as well.
When the decal's in place and thoroughly dried (give it 24 hours) make sure you put a coat of clear lacquer over the baseplate including the new decal....they're not waterproof, and very vulnerable to damage.

PS: If you read reports of another earthquake with an epicenter in Lincolnshire, it'll only be me after something has gone wrong.
