As expected the first decal shattered so the rest were treated to a couple of coats of Klear. This partially worked as some still cracked and one or two wrinkled badly when setting solution was applied, more so than it says they would on the bottle. To remedy this I applied Micro Set and rolled a Q Tip across them a few times, this got rid of most of them. I had to replace one of the wing markings with one from the spares box, strangely these were all bigger than the Pioneer 2 ones even though the kit parts are from the same moulds just a different maker. Consequently the fuselage marking was the same size as the wing one (bonus?), Klear was then appiled to seal them in. One of the tail markings had to be patched using a spare wing marking but this left a straight edge which was corrected using a black Sharpie for the line. I'll remember this for the future. The makers and model decals are oversize so had to be fitted lower down the tail. The kit has no exhaust so one was fashioned from a spare Bf 109 Trop intake, it looks close enough. All that was left was to straighten the bent pitot as best as, cut down slightly the telegraph pole of an aerial mast and fit the guns. With masking removed it was job completed. It won't win any competitions but it's in the collection and has taught me a few more things,
