Excellent job Charles! It's hard to believe that it was your first kit. Very nice!

This is the very first scale plastic model that I've completed. I started a Kingfisher, but got disgusted with it. I did learn quite a bit with this build, especially that part about reading the instructions. I'm afraid my patience are too thin.

Also I noticed the fuselage starboard side "meatball" started to lift up. A little moisture solved that problem.

It looks excellent. White, in all its different permutations is a real B*tch to apply and it looks fine to me.

Regarding the lifting decal, I would suggest a spray on decal sealant if you have not already done so. Test the stuff first though...it can sometimes have nasty unforeseen side effects in my exoperience ("yeah what experience is that....ah next to none sir").........
