Do you mean Micro Scale? If so their setting and softening solutions are the business. Micro Sol & Micro Set are great, especially for getting rid of silvering, or making decals follow contours and surface details.

I have been using them for some time now. I like them and will continue to use them.

Micro sol, great stuff to use. Follows down into and over the top of panels lines. I like to use the red bottle as it softens the decals to conform to irrregular surfaces for a "painted on" look. Got that of the bottle...hehehe. No really it works great

I think Cvrle meant exactly what he wrote: Model Master I don't know if they offer it in Europe, but in US catalogue of Testors they indeed offer Model Master Decal Set 1737. I have never used it, so I don't know how good (or bad) it is.

I have used the Model Master decals set,and it seems as strong as Micro set.I use all three depending how tough a decal is to get to snuggle down.Some refuse no matter which I use.The Decals on my Big Shot were espescially thick.
