OK, so 1st up and bit of an apology. I'm getting fuzzy in the head and earlier I did say the font for the decal lettering was Ariel, well I lied it's really Blockschrift für Flugzeuge. Get this font, not only is it correct but comes with a few crosses too. :)
The Micro Sol did just what it said on the tin, several applications, just applying wiht a brush and letting it soak under the affected decals has done the trick. They still don't look so good but at least they're now firmly
