Are those the kit decals? How did they go down?
Those are kit decals and they go down very nicely. There's lot of aftermarket decals for these WnWs and other WWI subjects.

Gerry-- I don't have a whole ton of skills-- just enjoying the well engineered kit 
. Just need to be more careful fitting everything together
Mike-- like Bob said- the kit decals went down a treat. I used Micro Sol to settle them in...had some air bubbles that took a couple extra treatments...but as you can see it all turned out ok

I can attest to that brother.
They caution you all over the place about not using Sol or Set, but I couldn't get them down at first, so I tried them and shazaaaaam, they were great. They laid down so tight (just Vallejo primer and Future underneath) that when I changed my mind about the tailplane and tried to get them off, it was the hardest task of the whole build, I soaked them overnight in water, then vinegar, then alcohol, nothing broke the bond. I had scrape them off with a #11.
I also had bits and pieces of lozenge stuck to bits and pieces of me for days after.
Tom you'd be surprised how nicely they lay down. Join us on our WWI Campaign and earn you a campaign ribbon, that one is running for a while now.
BAM! Good job Mike, that extra work will pay off when you get gear and struts installed.

Thanks guys! I have some paint down-- and now am contending with these panels. The rear one is placed correctly with the openings for the gear and such-- so now I just need to adjust the front trapezoidal type panels to where they are supposed to be...once that is all set, it's the last shade- Jasta Red...looking forward to seeing all the paint go down....
Good thing I have until 2018 to finish this beastie
