Hi Roger ,
If you're using water-slide transfers (decals) , try some Micro Set and Micro Solve to snuggle the decals down .
I use this stuff on plastic scale models .
Test it on a dopped piece of scrap balsa , using some of the clear carrier film from the decal sheet 1st .
I'm not sure if the water transfers you are using from the kit are the same formula as the plastic kit decals , so TEST , TEST , TEST !!
Good luck
