The A and the Am461 yea. The Roundels and little tiny flag no.

The A and serial number aren't the same or as old as the shark mouth.

The serial number you can omit or apply.It is up to you only. What is the difference between these A letters?

What A letters? I didn't have any so Terry mailed me these. I said these are unlike the shark mouths. Those were from a reallly old kit and fragile these A's are newer.

Look what I found on the pilot

I see now. If these are newer declas you can try to appy one of the A letters. Put the letter into quite warm water for a while.
If it is scattered we will try another way.

Unfortumately you have applied these fuselage roundels incorrectly. These should be much back and up.

A brush and Testors grey enamel. I was so infuriated with the disinigration that I just painted it... I hope you understand

All that are left are doors, gear, and a window.

If I were you I would get a small piece of soft rag and soak it with the paint tinner.Then I would wash off these letters gently.

So OK. wash off these . Be careful of these fuselage roundels.Start removing these letters from their tops and go down and forward. Also you can use a thick brush but you have to soak it in the can with the thinner very often.It should be clean of the grey paint all time you wash off the new part of the letters.


We criss-crossed PMs. Looking good did you wash off both of them?

So OK. Now you have to move these fuselage roundels because these are put incorrectly. Use a thick brus for water applying on the top edge of the roundle decal.Then the next drop of water.Pay your attention to if the water is going under the decal.Use warm water.Apply the water as long as it can be possible to move the roundel with the brush bristle.
