      You could also try Microscale liquid decal film. I’ve had success with it in the past.

        If the decals are still visually OK you could also try scanning them into your computer (assuming you have the gear, that is) and printing fresh ones onto decal paper.
        Look up Mr Decal Paper

        If you do go down that route, there are 2 types; laser and ink-jet. Laser are used as-is; ink-jet have to be spray varnished to seal in the ink (prior to immersing in water :smiling5.

          Remember most printers don’t print white, so if you go this way you'll need white decal paper and have to cut accurately around the decal.

                Hi Dale and welcome
                Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
