I agree Keith, the decals look even better now they've settled. I'll give it a go next time I get a kit with instrument decals, using my usual Micro Sol, which has been great over the years. I did try doing what you did on the Airfix Buccaneer, but the decals were a bit thick, and the panels of compound shapes, so the results weren't brilliant - ended up bining half the decals and painting the rest.
