I agree with Wojtek. The clear decal sheets do not hold density very well - the decal looks fine on the backing paper, but loses density when transferred to the model.
Using two decals, one on top of the other, usually works well.

Hello,

Maybe some (good) news this evening or tomorrow... I received the clear decals sheet yesterday afternoon by DHL (not by French Poste !!! )
Since I hadn't enough prints made by Captain Frey to use 2 decals: one on top of the other, I made my own tests, here is the result


I applied Liquid Decal Film and I think to put them on the model this evening or tomorrow in the morning
 
Hello,

Decals done (Finally !!!!!)
I didn't succeed to obtain the result what I wanted so I used decals from my spare box... The "red 131" is not exactly what it should be but it's not transparent and not too thick (due the 2 decals one over the other)
Now I have 5 days left to apply gloss varnish, weathering, wheels, antenna, antenna wires, varnish again, etc...

I like the metal finish on yours over mine Steph looks nice and smooth but lets get this plane on the flight-line like pronto
