On returning from my granddad duties down south I've still not had much bench time but one thing I have been looking at was the turret basket and the canvas type panels on it. These are not provided in the kit and gives instructions how to make some up from tissue. My concern with this was the application of decals on them.
In the PE set I'm using there are three panels but there is no way I could get these to look like material so I decided on a more experimental approach.

These are the PE parts and a piece of am old pillow case painted up.

I then traced the decal, transferred it onto paper and made a stencil. I tidied it up a bit before applying paint.

I gave it a light spray with white paint.

Then tidied up the edges using a brush. There are some very thin black lines to add then cut it out. Two more to do and then see how these look.

Nothing wrong there, that is how it was done in the field, in fact on some of the real photos yours looks 10 times better.
