As for decals, especially the Lozenge for the wings, make sure the surface is painted and preferably gloss coated. Do the wings before gluing on the struts! Once applied open up the locating holes for the struts using a needle or sharp tip of an exacto kife. I Hope this helps and perhaps others will add to what I said.

Yup , Rick is correct . The wings need to be decalled before assembly . The decals will adhere better to a gloss surface and once the decal are applied and have fully dried . They should be clear coated again . Since you are using this for war gaming I would put a few coats of clear to better protect the decals for damage .
