Thanks Guys.
The primary decals are in place, with lots of stencils to come...
Also drilled out the bottom side dive brake holes, last pic, for a better look as I intend to have the bottom etch dive brake parts to be lowered.

In short....Yes Upper Flaps Painted both sides and the Upper Dive Flaps in place, along with the the Leading edge Slats painted and attached right or wrong
in extended position, as some pics do indicate this.
