No worries about the picts, destrozas, I've got it sorted out.
The picture of 149146 is on "aviation-museum.blogspot.com" in the june 2010 archives, if anyone is interested.

I saw the one that appears to be in the process of wing folding/unfolding, so I guess I'm o.k.
Stencils are usually first in decaling, but I just had to do the toughest one first, it went like a charm so on to the rest!
Thanks for the fine comments and the interest.

Liberal application of Micro-Sol to the "sailor inhaler" warning, hoping it gets rid of the wrinkles.
