    Looks like the Blutack grabbed onto the decal quite strongly, my friend @kalamazoo!

    It seemed like a good solution, Allan @kalamazoo
    I would not have expected this either.
    Always terrible that these things happen so close to the finish line.

    Thanks Spiros, it did, -------------
    Thanks John, I should have expected it and been more careful, -----------------
    a bit of paint touch up makes it look better if not perfect ! more details and elevator cables to add.

    Those cables adds a lot to the looks of the DH60.

    The lead should be a safer solution to hold the wires, Allan @kalamazoo

    Thanks Erik, they are a pain to attach though, -----------
    Thanks John, it is and you inspired me to use it to tension the cable as well, --------------
    Thanks Spiros, ------------------------
    After two failed attempts with super glue I am trying epoxy, takes longer to set, we'll see how it goes !

    That will absolutely create some tension, Allan @kalamazoo
    I would be nervous to use this kind of setup.

    Those cables seem challenging, nothing that you cannot handle with excellence, my friend @kalamazoo!
    Looking forward to see all of them in place!
