There's quite a few tutorials out there on applying decals.

I recommend getting some decal solvent and settings solution, I've been using microset and microsol and they work well, though I think you need something stronger as well. People talk about solvaset as being a good option but it's hard to get in Australia, if you can get it I think you should give it a go.

Historically I've always used a gloss varnish when applying decals, but more recently I've been foregoing the gloss varnish and getting good results, but you need to make sure the surface is nice and smooth.

I like Paul Budzik's videos because they go in to detail that other tutorials don't cover (Paul makes some incredible models, he scratch built this Tempest)



This is also a good tutorial that covers the basics of decal application.
