Hadn't looked at it that way. I seen too many unusable decals because of misalignment so maybe I should think good idea.. that said the revell tricolour rounded I have are perfect 😉 thinking about it, if the blue and white aren't centred , as long as the overlap is enough it won't make any difference. I can see the third colour has to be spot on or issues arise 👍🏻

Just in case you thought this was dead in the water. Had a multitude of other projects on the go so been slow going.

Cheers mr D and Michael. The reason I put them both in the one build is that they are both the same airframe just at different points in their careers.

Wrong stabs , all that raised detail will have to go and I’ll have to create a slotted edge somehow. ps, it’s not really...

This kit was bought as " believed complete" from eBay. What it actually is complete but with reservations. Incorrect stabs, they're from and fg1 boxing ( wished I'd known BEFORE doing the FAA rebuild ) . So they're first to be fixed before going any further.

This entails sanding off all the raised detail and creating the slotted leading edge. Let's see how that goes .

Beautifully printed sheet of a hard to find subject. Unfortunately Microscale have made some glaringly large (pun intended) errors.

First up are the stars and bars. These are way too large. More 1/32 than 1/48. In fact they are larger than those on the Hasegawa 1/32 skyhawk. In addition, on my sheet the blue looks a little to light in shade

Secondly , the “MARINES” text is too large and the wrong font.

On the plus side, the carrier is minimal and the printing is perfectly in register.

My Opinion:

Only worth buying if “MUST” have this airframe or if you have plenty of spares to replace the glaring errors. But if you do , it will result in a model in rarely seen livery

Great printing but the "MARINES" font is totally wrong and the stars and bars are the same size as my 1/32 skyhawk 🤣 so also unusable. I got these dirt cheap (now I know why) . So basically don't waste your money unless you have plentiful spare decals (fortunately I do ).

This effect of paint is definitely annoying, but that doesn't detract from the great result of your work!
