I see your point in number 73, it was a bit fiddly, I tucked it into the raised detail with a cocktail stick. Next time I'll cut it first. Number 73 was separated and was quite easy. Nice to know someone else is still up at this time! I thought I was being a bit OCD!Good advice from the guys Lucy. One thing I do where possible is to cut the decals into smaller pieces and apply them separately where there is a large 'step'. You MUST have a new blade in your knife before cutting decals though! A used blade is likely to tear the decal rather than cut cleanly.
Part number 5 on your first picture is an example. If the decal was originally supplied as a single piece to cover the whole panel, I would cut it into three exactly as the maker has done - decal numbers 67, 68 and 69 - then it's a much easier fix.
I might even consider doing the same with decal 74 depending on how confident I felt about it sitting properly in one piece. And for certain sure I'd cut out decal number 73 if it was attached to the main panel decal!
I seem to recall my experiences with it being exactly the opposite. Micro Sol works very well for me, but the Humbrol and Testors equivalents never did much, I think. Still, whatever works is goodI've been using Decalfix - it can be a bit fierce
