Are these decals ok to use?

[Steam235]

This is a picture of my Enterprise E decals. They are original release decals from the First Contact edition of the model. So 17 years old. You can see that it looks like the sheet has yellowed significantly but not around the decals themselves. Do you think they are ok to use?

I can't find any decal sets that have the pennants and registry. Acreation has azetec decals but not marking decals. PNT has a nice detailing sheet with hull markings and penants but it's out of stock everywhere.

I've used old decals with little to no problems before. I use Micro Sol and Micro Set to aid in application and if you cover them with a clear coat, they should be fine.

IF they don't crumble and crack.

I have used seriously old decals and there is a risk they have become brittle and cracked. You might dip it into water and a single decal tuns into 50 little pieces. It might be worth it to scan them into your computer. the yellowing would have to be photoshopped out but you should be able to print out new ones.

try contacting round 2 .. since they have repopped the kit you can probly get a replacement set from them for a couple bucks

Steam235,

I just looked in my stash, and I have a spare set of the PNT 1/1400 Sovereign decals. PM inbound.

Decal Set and Decal Sol, as mentioned do just fine.
But Microset also puts out some Decal Coat. Which helps to protect the older decals.

Not endorsing this site: Decal Coat is the third one down.
