I dug this one out of the Plastic Mountain and added it to my Pulp/WW2 collection   https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2021/01/172-fokker-d-xxi-in-finnish-colors.html

Cool kit-build photo-essay. Thanx for the tip on Microscale decal saver. I have lots of flaky old decal sheets in my inventory, I can use some help salvaging them. What's your full regimen?

Pretty much; gloss the models, cover the decal with Micro-Scale Decal Film (let it dry overnight). Apply decal as normal then hit it with Micro-Sol (more waiting for it to dry) another coat of gloss to seal everything then a matte-coat finish. I wrote a short post about it here https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2021/01/because-somebody-asked-decals-and-such.html   

  I have an older post that is a bit longer and has pictures but doesn't address dealing with older decals https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2011/06/future-floor-wax-and-decals-for-models.html
