Thanks a lot for the nice comments.
Decals: ✔️
Designed by Decograph, they are a bit odd.
The carrier film is really thin. It merges almost perfectly with the surface when pressing the decals with a cotton bud after applying some softener.
But on the other hand the coloured parts look a bit thick and they are definitely brittle. It took several applications of Daco Strong to conform them to the recesses and and air intakes, for instance.
I had to "play" with the rudder decal as it was for Mirage IIIC n°91, when mine is n°46.
I cut off and put upside down the "9" and was lucky to find a SAAF n°804 rudder decal in the box from which I could cut the "4"!
I will have to do some touch ups with white paint but it could have been much worse!!
A friend sent me some EC3/2 tail badges. Although I had the reference pictures at hand's reach, I managed to apply too low on the vertical stabiliser... Doh!
Anyway, the decals bring some life to the NMF and look fine once applied:
Contrarily to my habits, I will airbrush a coat of varnish because I am not sure the decals have properly adhered to the surfaces everywhere.
Better be safe than sorry when I apply the washes...
