Decals placed. A grand total of four.
I was expecting problems with these as I probably bought the kit 20 years ago so I first tried the manufacturers name which  disintegrated as expected. So after a couple of coats of varnish I finally managed to soak them off separating the backing sheet with the careful use of a scalpel between it and the decal. It took a while.

Nice work, and well done with the decals.

Agree with Zak.
Done a good job saving the old decals with a bit of patience and a good bit of skill.

Now complete. It took some delicate work fixing the barrels each side with the supporting spars. Needed about four hands.

That's a a very striking machine.
Certainly a good talking point with those ECM barrels and the colour scheme.
Well done Chris, a cracking build.
