Meng Decals and Solvaset?

[PhilHendry]

Hi all,

 

im currently trying to put the number plate decals on my Meng Achzarit Early. Israeli number plates are 'embossed', so the number plates are provided as brass etch, with decals. The trouble is that I can't get the decals to settle down into the relief on the etch at all. I started with MicroSet and MicroSol, and that had no effect. So I reached for my bottle of Walthers' 'Solvaset' - which is a 'hotter' version of the same thing. Solvaset usually turns decals to 'jelly'. But it's had no effect at all. Has anyone else had this problem and what am I to do? 

 

Thanks,

Phil

Have had problems with Meng decals too. They are very thick and took several applications of Mr. Marksofter and Mr. Marksetter to make them lay down and play dead. Very reminiscent of Roden decals, also
