I dug an old 25 year old Peerless 1/35 1-1/2 ton Dodge Personnel Carrier
out of the stash last week and started to put it together. The white
decals had yellowed and refused to come off the decal backing anyway. Is
there a secret to wetting the decal sheet with some liquid or mixture
other than plain warm water?
If all else fails, I'll have to get new decals. Does anyone know where
can I get some 1/35 decals of generic US white stars for armor and
vehicles? I searched around, but it seems all are for aircraft.

There are a couple of methods, such as using the Microscale product to
create decals (can't recall the precise name but somebody will have
it.) However, sounds like the decals are dead and gone. (They were
also not quite right in the first place.)

Archer Fine Transfers has a couple of sheets, one of the Medical Corps
stuff (crosses on white, cadeucus markings. etc.) as well as generic
bumper codes and serial numbers. You may want to check with their
offerings to see about getting both usable and better markings.

I have both Microsol and Microset, but I haven't tried either. I figured
that if I weathered it enough the color of the decals won't matter. :-)
