Any more details on the other decal options? 

[rickpeck]

Hope they have the right code letters on "Oh Johnnie" correct on the decals sheet . I t should read 6D5 with the D5 on the cowling. It not it will be easy to fix.

Code letter are for the last number of the Squadron '6' 346th FS ,'D' is the flight letter and '5' is the aircraft number in the flight. Also wings latter on were natural metal .

Tried to post photo but can't get it to work.

If that decal is the main worry: nothing a good sharp no.11 can't fix.
