    @gblair @johnb @fiveten What do you think about Nose Art? Decal in panel line was tore a little during fitting into a panel line, direct in yellow moon edge. I thinking about to change this decal. But removeing it could be difficult too.

    Edit. Squadron emblem from my spare box are a little small than this one. So I don't have idea what to do.

    I would leave the decal "as is", my friend @lis. The tear is barely noticeable and will be practically invisible after weathering.

    @fiveten I think I have to do as You say. Taking into account that this discontinuity is exactly in the line of joining the fuselage plates.

    @gblair @johnb

    PS. I made some extra position lamps underde fuselage by clear Tamiya paints.

    Regarding the decal, I would leave it as is, Lis @lis. Just like mentioned by Spiros @fiveten
    I think those decals in real did also suffer from wearing.
    Position lights are a nice addition.

    Lis, @lis, I love your paint work, that OD looks great! These are turning into a really great looking build. The decals are making it pop. Nice work!

    You can spot the tiny imperfections onto the nose arts, my friend @lis!
    ...which gives even more validation to your very slightly (practically zero) compromised nose art.

    @luftwaffe-birdman Thank You! I'm glad that You like my paintjob. I think black primer with gray primer shades make good work.

    @fiveten thank you!

    @luftwaffe-birdman @gblair @johnb Weathering . I hope you like it. Nose Art I weathered as I can the best to hide imperfections.
