Thanks Paul, I'm hoping a dazzling paint job will distract people from the flawsAndy,
Your paint work is always on another level mate, she is looking well tasty.
I wouldn't be surprisedIs that ice on the screen of the thermometer?
Well,I for one, like that very much Andy.... great jobThanks Joe. I'm enjoying this part but know there's more drama to come
I got the wasp decal on today. It's far from perfect as it is split into 3 pieces along panel lines and has a few compound curves to negotiate, as well as the gun & cannon openings. Pretty happy that it's on though, and with a few touch ups here & there it should be fine.

Peeling the decal film off is an exercise in patience. I tried a few methods, first dissolving it off with mineral spirits which was fast, but I was a bit heavy handed and removed some of the actual ink as well in places.
So onto the "peeling" method. After trying a few different tools I found a good old toothpick worked the best for me, lifting up an edge and gently scraping the film off.
I only bothered with the larger decals as they settled pretty well anyway so I didn't feel the need to mess with the tiny ones, but it was good to have a play around.
Here's how some looked after removing the film
