I had no trouble with the Academt decals in any of their kits sofar, maybe I am just lucky.

Now the decals in my new Airfix Spit kit on the other hand is giving me allot of grief!

Thanks for the heads up Allyne. I'll let you know how I get on.

Possible daft question, on my acaemy stuka there are projections (sirens?) on both wheel spats. what are they? and if they are sirens didn't they have them on only one side? I tried to see if they appeared on the pictures Steve posted but the cannon barrel is in the way. Any help please.

The landing gear fairings on all the tank busters I've seen are clean,no sirens or anything else. Many of the conventional dive bombers had a siren on one side as you suggest but they'd also have dive brakes etc.

So accuracy would mean removing the projections. I noticed that Theuns kit has them too, just a hold-over from a dive bomber version of the model then. no problem.

Thanks for info
