Well I have applied the last of the decals and they are drying, and so far so good. Generally the decals have behaved nicely, and settled down nicely. Decals can be the most rewarding and most frustrating part of the build, and the one the modeler has the least amount of control over. You are at the mercy of the decal, the solution and how they interact and react with each other and the surface of your model. I have had decals wrinkle up like 90 yr old grandma and others from the same sheet lay down smoother then a babies butt on the same kit. One thing I have learned though is generally once you have the solution on, decal in position and excess fluid wicked away, just leave it alone! Fight the urge to want pat it down smooth it out and get it to dry. Just let them alone and pray to the decal god and sacrifice to him one model kit to the shelf of doom for the decals to settle down and look good.
