Every Block 42 Viper has this air scoop. Guess what!? Not this one. I won't remove it now.

The instructions for the Wraith-Decals are a bit tricky to read. Compare the two sides of the jet. Decals are bigger/smaller or in different locations. Check your references!!!

And unfortunately the print of the decals isn't good either. Look at the diplacement.

But from a functional view, the decals are superb. Great to work with and looking good.

All Decals done!

Grabbing one next to Jos.

If possible, thin down the reenforcement plates. I had the same issue with the side radar panels on my Su-57. They came out too prominent.

Great result - too bad a lot of the underlying pre-shade doesn't show through the photos!
