[quote]QUOTE: originaly posted by cwclark ...you can brush on a decal softener ...geez!..the name of it is on my tongue!... something "Sol" [/quote] Would that be [url="http://www.internettrains.com/460-m2.html"]MICROSOL[/url]? (click on the underlined highlited words) I second orsonroy's suggestion. Get a new set of decals and replace the lettering. If you are sure that the lettering is a decal and not painted on, then use the Micro Sol to soften and remove the old decal. If it is paint, you have a touchy situation trying to remove the lettering and not the body paint. That is a subject for another post. It my involve repainting the cab. When decaling, follow Microscale's instructions. Decals should be applied on a gloss surface (this is when an air brush comes in handy). They sell [url="http://www.internettrains.com/460-m3.html"]Micro Gloss[/url] for that. After the decal is set with [url="http://www.internettrains.com/460-m1.html"]Micro Set[/url] and cured, then you can give it a coat with [url="http://www.internettrains.com/460-m3.html"]Micro Flat[/url] or Testors Dull Coat. . Some yada, yada, yada, about Microscale products: "Microscale model finishing products are especially formulated for model building and decorating in conjunction with decals printed by Microscale". "Microscale is constantly improving all its products with an eye toward better performance and safety. Since application may be somewhat different, it is most important that you read the instruction carefully to make sure you are using these products correctly. In this way you can be assured that you will obtain the best results possible when you make a model."
