Nice work so far. If your feeling brave and your confident the decals have adheared properly I would suggest to carefully mask off the offending area in small sections at a time ie one point at a time and spray some pretty well thinned white, two bits of masking tape with no cuts and your away. Just my two cents worth..... cheers Bevan

I've seen builders doing your mentioned technic using post-it notes due to the low tack adhesive.

I've seen builders doing your mentioned technic using post-it notes due to the low tack adhesive.

Or you can reduce the tackiness of the tape on the back of your hand or on your forhead. I guess anything low tack is a "must" you can also put two pieces of tape sticky side together with just 2-3mm showing. This stops the whole sticky side coming into contact with the decal if you catch my drift!

Well this is basically done. the checkered decals for the nose were pretty hosed and I have some coming in about a week or so. I left the gaps in the front panels because they are removable and the big self inflicted gun shot wound that I did while assembling the supercharger ( I used the one for the Spit) so now it sits cock-eyed. I may just leave it like this or maybe later do some more to it. All-in-all this is a fantastic kit and when I get a hair Ill probably just build another.

The Decals are from the Dragon kit so that's probably a good reason why they broke apart on me and were too translucent.
