Damn Karl! First time I get a chance to look at this thread and you're almost done with it.
At this rate you're going to have to petition the judges for an exemption on the 4 model limit per group build. ( I've heard they're susceptible to bribes)

Ok on with the struggle to get the decals to stick down

stencils on

Pylons, note the warning triangles are way to big but look better than nothing !
There were plenty of decals for the ALQ and phimat pods but none would conform to the curved surfaces

Cluster bombs, decals worked pretty well !

Looks good Karl. Have you tried applying them with Klear underneath maybe?

Airframes · May 20, 2020

Was about to suggest the same. Bit of clear gloss underneath, wet, and then sealed over the top when they settle.

Yep, tried using clear to stick them down on top of the clear coat already on the model !
