for a moment I was wondering what you meant on 14.... then I realized the thin white line is not supposed to be there.... crap, pitty because otherwise it is a really good looking decal. maybe remove it and request a new ser from Academy?

Clear coat it and use a circle cutter to mask the rest of the decal and touch up with the base color?

Thanks for your suggestions, mates. I guess my skill level is not sufficient to correct such a small mlstake from the manufacturer. I decided I'll live with it. It just seemed odd to me because all in all this is a very good kit.

I think it would be worth writing a polite letter to the manufacturer

Took a while to decide what to do with it. My plan is now to build a small base and show it swimming. The insteucrions only cover a build with landing gear down, so I have to figure out myself what to do with the wheels.
