barry136 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Forgive me but I am a novice. I was given one of those 1/24 F1 Mercedes (Lewis Hamilton) kits. It is covered in decals and I am trying the normal water application method. It is not happening. Do I need that decal soft stuff? I have never used it before. The kit decals need to be curled over edges and over curved body panels. HELP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggers Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Also you have Microset & Microsol from Microscale which IMHO is much better than Decalfix.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Also you have Microset & Microsol from Microscale which IMHO is much better than Decalfix.......... Are you talking about this latest version of Decalfix or the older version which has been around for ages? I'd agree with you for the old stuff but haven't tried the new, afaik it hasn't made it to NZ yet. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry136 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Thanks all for the info. As I said this stuff is a complete mystery to me. I have never needed to use it before. Off to Modelzone this lunchtime to see if they have any buried under the mountains of RC helicopters. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
