Print Scale decals are very good, maybe a bit too thick but easy to be treated with Microscale liquids. The symbol is perfect !
My only doubt concerns the blue colour, that is maybe too clear?

CONs: some filling are not good...and the right landing gear is crooked...

@Johan: I didn't use the decals from the kit, I got some news decals from Printscale (a brand fron Ukraine). They are very good, you can see an example in pic 16.
Thanks for the compliments!
