I recommend a PVA glue on the decals. Been using the decals for a bit. I don't know what Mr. Mark Setter is but it may be the cats meyow. I'm just impressed that Eduard has moved beyond PE. I still will find the 3d seat belts. That all being said, love the look.
 
Well I'm getting the pit attached to the starboard side, clamping holding it in place.
Maybe tomorrow the Other one!
