Great progress on your Shack, were the Airfix prop decals easier to use than the Revell ones?

Something has struck me as odd as it did when I first saw this kit built up in the case at Telford last year. I have never seen a picture of an AEW Shack with those horizontal yellow dashes on the fuselage side just in front of "Force". The two normal size vertical yellow Rescue arrows should be there but those horizontal yellow lines, what are they?

Sorry to pick this up again, the reason why it shows as two yellow dashes is that on the Revell decall sheet they have represented the door handle as yellow (thus making the 2nd yellow dash), this should be chrome in reality.

The revell kit doesn't have decals for the prop tips. They state to paint them
