Your drive for authenticity is commendable. I would have just cheated and moved the decal, ever so slightly. I know, lazy.

In the end I found it easier to cut them

Mick,
This is a build to be proud of mate.

Many thanks for hanging on in there

The to do list has shrunk again. Flare and chaff dispensers fitted. Main undercarriage doors on, steps painted and started weathering, underwing pylons attached and a couple of detailing projects done concerning the remove before flight tags. I’ve been fitting 0.5mm sections of tubing to various parts to attach the tags. All has gone well so far and they just need weathering up. The only problem one was how to do the pilot tube on the nose, I had no suitable plastic tubing so tried a piece of insulating sleeve off some wire which has worked perfectly. A few more bits this weekend should see this put to bed.
A bit of weathering, and touch up the paint here
