Some of the decals in a kit look like they have some water damage, damp box or something.
Is there anything I can do to save them? French roundel really bad but cracks on all the roundels.
Should I just ask the manufacturer to replace them?
If I put them in water they'll just fall apart. Here's a snap of them.
Crap camera phone but the image is clickable for a larger size
Thanks in advance

I have had this happen many times before and what I use for when this happens is Liquid Decal Film from Micoscale . You can spray it through your airbrush or with paint brush and cleans up with water works best with brush dries in 15 minutes , might have to do more the one coat and ta da new decals ! If you have decal paper you can make your own . scan the image spray the paper let that dry then print the image on top and recoat with brush . Most manufactures will replace items just send them an e-mail . Hope this helps you out .
