To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thanks Stuart. Hoping the rest of the build goes well. lol

Looks great with the markings on! Good to know about Peddinghaus decals. I've seen them pop up once in a while when browsing on EBay but have never purchased them.

Thanks John. Yeah......you're gonna wanna skip out on those. Huge disappointment.
Finished up with all the decaling this morning. Now.....for the not so good news. How in the world I managed to get the stabilizers painted wrong...I just don't know. Painted the bottoms with the topside color and vise versa. Currently stripping the paint from both of them and a re-do will be in progress on those.
Current progress....

About the stabs. I've done that. But I had one right and one upside down

Oopsie.....I have no doubt you will correct this beautifully!

Lol! I'm sure that's happened to all of us once!
It's looking really good though Joe - I like that scheme!

LOL! One upright and one upside down. 
That sounds like something that I would definitely do.
Thanks for all the comments fellas. Already got the paint stripped, parts cleaned, reprimed and gray warble applied. Then I re-shot the RLM 76 on the bottom sides this time.
