Thanks a lot my friends @fiveten, @johnb. And there we are decals in position. Before that I applied a juice mix of oil paint mixed with Zippo gasoline. I'm usually doing it after the decals but last time, after rubbing the surface, some decals disappeared, this time I did not want to take a chance.
Everything went smoothly until I reached the nose part and the checkered part. I had 2 set of decals: the one provided with the kit and a spare from superscale.
First one has been destroyed (by my-self) due to a poor alignment, and the second detroyed by it-self while applying.
2 solutions, purchasing a new set, pretty costly for just one decal or trying a new technic (for me) to paint the checkered board. 2nd solution retained.
For a first try I'm pretty please, ok that looks nice from far but far to be nice when closing in.
Thanks for passing by.
