I can say for certain that the water slide transfers will most definitely require protection and that Humbrol will indeed be fine for the purpose.
The adhesive is a water based gum and the transfers will soften and simply slide off, ask me how I know this!
Maybe you got lucky Rob. Even with the varnish applied transfer you still have to protect the outer surface with varnish.
First transfers I ever used was on a bike I restored in the 80's Rob. I messed up with Gold Size. Had to repaint the tank.
I then just applied the transfers which were covered only with polish. None have ever come off.
Not so now Rob, they will definitely wash off if not treated.
