Re: Decals

Since you asked...

The flag decals that we're doing for GZG are done on an ALPS using
either 
Tango Papa or (forgot the other company name, and I'm not in the
office!) 
decal paper.  They are water slide/transfers.

I have used had good results using Badger Decal Set and MicroSol Decal 
Setting solution for these (not the flags, but this decal paper).

I have dull coated some of my models using Testors Dullcote, but have
not 
used any "varnish" products.  The Dullcote does no damage to the decals,

and my guess would be that the Glosscote product would not either.

I hope that this helps,
