Ok chaps.
And so the decals are on. Fortunately this doesn't have lots of little stencils, like the usual Airfix kits, whether that's Tamiya's choice or a reflection of the Corsair I don't know but it's a nice change from the dozens I have had to add with the last two Airfix kits.
The decals by Tamiya's standards are actually very good and I might be wrong but they seem thinner than the usual Tamiya offering I have experienced. They have certainly gone down much better than usual for Tamiya, with minimal discernible lip/edge unlike the 'ramp' you often get with them...but they're still not up to the Cartograph standard.
Oh and when I was putting them on, I suddenly realised the plane I am doing didn't have a yellow nose band......oops. But at least it add a bit more interest and only a true rivet counter will notice.
ACW as usual.
