That's always worked for me in the past. But this time, the mist coats failed to protect the decals, and... KERBLOOIE!

The ruined decals are Cartograf; the rest are Renaissance. Seems like there's a lesson there also. But I'm not sure how much good it will do; we don't often have a choice of decal manufacturers for the same kit.

I can get Mr. Hobby at my LHS, but I'd have to order the others on-line. So it looks like Mr. Hobby gets the nod. (I really like their putty, by the way, so this could be a trend.)
