Thanks for the tips fellas! As I mentioned, these are new to me so I can definitely prosper from your experience with them.
Also -- the grain should always run fore and aft -- they have some panels with the grain running up and down, which is not correct. If you care.
That's definitely good to know!
. . . I'll have to rotate the decals, or maybe replace the wrongly orientated decals if they don't fit after rotating.
Yikes! I hadn't thought of that. Is there enough material to allow the modeller to do that? It may be that I'm forced to follow the installation pattern as laid out; right or wrong.
Cheers,
Chris
