Wash over decals?

I'm thinking of doing a grey sludge wash over my FAA Hellcat soon but I'm wondering if it is best to do this after I've done the decalling? I'm using microsol/set to get the decals bedded down nicely.

I always do mine after decalling, otherwise you end up with panel lines which stop at the decals, rather than running through them as they would on the real thing.

Just apply a clear gloss coat over the decals before you apply a wash, if you weren't already going to.

Brilliant thanks Karl. I've been doing a few coats of gloss today and yesterday so should be ready for the decalling to begin tomoro as I'm off! Although the wife has other plans which involves paint just not Tamiya....
