Hi

Some of the decals on some of my minichamps models have began to start "peeling" away, mainly on my brabham bt55. :(

I was wondering if any one knew how to fix this problem or any companies that will do it.

Cheers :)

2 products out there, Microset and Microsol made by Micro Scale Industries and available at most hobby shops. The first is a decal setting solution that slightly softens the decal to allow it to adhere to the surface. The second is a decal softener that allows the decal to conform to irregular surfaces and is tricky to work with. I use both of them and in your situation I'd try out the Microset first.

Thats what I would recommend as well. When you have applied the solution if it doesn't settle the decal down try wafting over the area with a warm hair dryer while keeping the decal wet (apply with a watercolour brush).
