DISASTER!! Although the decals seem to be fine.. They were not. I will scan the set of spare decals from the other kits and make new ones on inkjet printer. Alternatively I will spray some transparent lacquer over the spare set, and try to apply them.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/5/5/9/1074559-46272-67-720.jpg)
The covering of the original decals worked, and I could manage to apply them with minor problems.

I got the same number of models in this package, one of the canopies, nevertheless, was not fully moulded...so only three could be build, or I should try to make one by myself...some day 😉
