Well, just applied the first few decals to the bomb of the plane (i've not glued this on yet, thought it'd be easier to paint the bottom of the plane without it in the way)

Anyway, after i'd given it 2 coats of Klear and let it dry, i cut out the tiny decals for it and all went pretty smoothly thankfully none major problems.

Only small problem with one, was that the decal slid off the backing paper while it was still in the water, but thanks to the help of a trusty toothpick lol i was able to get it out easily and apply it no problems.

So, to round up, my first decals are on without any problems wasn't as bad as i expected and im confident about the other ones now seeing as their all pretty much bigger aswell. Just need to give the plane a coat of Klear first.

Im not sure whether to brush a little distilled vinegar/water (50/50) onto these as they allready look decent, so maybe i'll just give it a final coat of klear when im sure they're dried completely and properly stuck on.
