Well on a crappy note i started adding the print scale decals . I had the shark mounth decal in the water and pulled it out and they disintegrated into 8 + pieces. I put another one in water same issue. So the decals went in the trash. This is the 2nd set of decals i had issues with . So no longer will i use print scale decals . I did some research on the net and found there was some Recon Lightning with basic markings so i went with that option. Insginais and numbers from Fundekals . Decals sprayed with clear gloss and now ready for wash .

Shame about the decals Brian but it sounds like you have it in hand. It's looking good.
