Hello,

Decals in progress but Eduard decals are cracked when I took them out of water: unfortunately I didn't put them in a zipped bag and in a binder away from light as I usually do...
So, I ordered a decal sheet for the stencils (that I'm waiting for...) and I used the "cracked" letter code and serial decals from the box: I tried applying softener on the decal paper when I took them out of the warm water and let them 1 or 2 minutes. The decals softened up a bit and I was able to apply them with less hassle; some touch-ups to do though...

I have a little touch-up/modification of paint (RAF DG) to do on the starboard side of the tail, front and above of the serial...
I think the stencils will be here probably Tuesday :)

If you hadn't said anything, I'd have thought they were supposed to look that way.
