Thank you guys. The right decal with the cock was unfortunately badly damaged, I couldn't apply it cleanly. Now I have to think about how to conceal this spot on the airplane. Maybe I will simulate some battle damage.

Just remember to add some aluminum paint to the inner edges of the holes. makes them look more realistic. you might want to take the built up plastic around the holes down too.

Thanks Frank. I tried to follow your suggestions and took away the plastic on the bullet holes. Hard to see the painted aluminium edges as the holes have a diameter less than 0,5mm. But it is ok and will look nice when everything is ready.
