Hi Barry,

Thanks for the help, I don't have many concerns regarding the making of my own transfers, although I had forgotten about the white so I may have to manufacture a mask to go over a white panel.

I was more unsure as regards this Microsol decal softener though as I have never used it. Do you paint the decal with it prior to application or before you soak it? or do you wait for it to dry? I've no idea really how to use it.

As for the matt varnish I am now a bit concerned that all the effort to generate the correct colour and surface effect seem to be washed out when you spray the varnish or Kleer over the model. I may give that bit a miss and just concentrate on getting the transfers right.

Thanks again
