Hi, here is my best advice:

 

1) airbrush the model and be delicate.

 

2) look for model specific (like testors) gloss cote lacquer and applyit to the model; in this step i rather to use metalizer sealer.

 

3) apply the decals and once again be delicate; avoid leaving air bubbles and so on.

 

4) once again apply metalizer sealer, or gloss cote lacquer.

 

5) at the end use a flat lacquer to finish the model (unnecessary to tell you: let the model to dry completely)

 

6) voila!!!

 

p.s. i ate a million of steps here so to get best results you can buy some modeling books which i did, so should you need assistance you can contact me.
