Richard,

I normally use Microsol Decal Set to help keep my decals from coming up.  It helps pull them down into the details of whatever it is I'm putting them on.  Testor's also makes a decal set solution, but I've had better luck with Microsol.  There apparently is another called Solvaset, but I've not tried it.

I've found a couple of links that may provide some useful information:

Hope this helps...
Chuck

Thanks Chuck - very informative links.

I should not have called them decals. They are just printed on sticky paper. I have applied some white glue under them and that is working.

Here's the switch panel design I am going for. Does anyone know the color of the "GUNS" switch safety cover?

For you Corsair fans, I have received permission to share my pictures and videos of the FG-1D in Cincinnati undergoing restoration.

I am building a 1/6 scale F4U-1A and in doing research I found this FG-1D and asked the Tri-State Warbird Museum for permission to visit and take pictures and video. They graciously invited me but told me the Corsair was in bad shape. It was in good enough shape for me to get many pictures and videos and they are helping me in my build. The FG-1D and F4U-1A have many similarities.

The museum has many planes in their collection: P-51D Mustang, T-6D Texan, TBM-3 Avenger, B-25 Mitchell, Boeing Stearman Model 75, Link ANT-18 Trainer, and others.
The website for the museum is here:
http://tri-statewarbirdmuseum.org


Here are the pictures and video from my visit. I will be adding more soon:
