Some of the decals do not fit very well. For example, the Virgin writing on the ailerons is designed to follow the shape and edges to be positioned very precislely but it does not line up with the attachement point of the elevators.

The black edge on the elevators is a decal as well but does not follow the shape of it too well.

Maybe the worst offender is the big blue eye on the underside. While it does position alright, there are no cutouts for the wheel wells or the antenna! It was not too much of a hassle to cut them out myself but only because I decided to build the SS2 in transport/flight configuration. It is also possible to build it in landing configuration and I can only imagine the nightmare that would cause when applying this decal.
