    some more decal progress

    the decals are very thin and tend to wrap or tear during applying, had to puzzle together the red cock on both sides
    Besides that, although my good old dad has lots of experience, sometimes he doesn´t pay attention. The tail code for the left side was printed upside down on the decal sheet. My dad applied it that way...but four eyes see more than two. When I realized his mistake and told him, luckily he could turn the decal into the correct position because he hadn´t treated it yet with Mikro Sol.
