Bad luck Rick: I sincerely hope that you can get some replacements soon as this is a stunning model.

As for the next one, I would not recommend one with a hole in the back, more like one with a spare wing and fan at the front. You KNOW how you miss the rigging....

So having stepped back for a Day or Two I have decided to continue on...hoping I can get a replacement for the right side ruined decals. First I coated the remaining decals with Micro Scale Decal Film. Applied a few and they are no longer brittle and seem to be working fine!

I have had that happen many times in the past and I always have decal film on hand . I do hope that replacements come soon for the other side . She is shaping up very nicely so far Rick .

I received an E Mail from Sabine and Pheon today saying MY order, Have to assume My replacement decal, is on the way. This is why Pheon is second to None, Great support and customer service! Thanks Rowan!!!

Good to read that your replacements are on their way. This aircraft model really does look good - even for one who normally likes them to have at least one spare wing....

Thanks Stephen, as always I appreciate you looking in ! Just for the record, There was No CHARGE from Rowan/Pheon for the replacement Decal!
