Thanks all. Started on tother side, from the wing tip in. First decal went on smoothly, a bit of tenting to be dealt with. Disaster with the second one. The front folded over on itself and broke into several pieces, about a cm from the leading edge. I was anticipating something would happen so I already had several photo copies of the decal sheet with stripes. At the bottom you can see a long green bar which I'm assuming is for such and event. So, I take the photocopy and cut out above the white bar. I then laid it on the long green bar and cut around the copy with a hobby knife

​

I laid the spare piece on top of the ruined decal, about 4mm north of the yellow bar. I was worried about a ridge from the two pieces overlapping but you can't even tell where the fix was

Good recovery and forward thinking.
