It's time to start with the decals. This will take some hours or maybe days...

Very nice result. Congrats!
How did the decals perform? Did they fit well?

Thank you Cuajete. The DXM decals perform good but be careful. Don't use to strong decal soft fluids like "Mark Fit Strong" or the decals will brittle. I've got some minor problems with the fit of the colored stripes on the vertical stabilizers. At some points remove the clear carrier film to get a better fit (f.e. horizontal stabs).
Bigger mistake (by myself) was that i recognized to late, that the instructions aren't 100% correct compared with the real aircraft. So always check your references. For the air refuel marking, the formation lights and the external fuel tank stencils i used the original g.w.h. decals. Also i've added more "no step" stencils that aren't shown in the instructions but are on the decal sheet as "spare" beside a big light grey spare decal. Last but no least the missing "hook" and some lighter "no step" decals came from an Italeri sheet. So conclusion: the DXM decals aren't perfect but very, very good.

Thx, Falk 👍
