The decals are on. I used microsol and set to get it into the corrugations. One decal teared and the set made a few holes so I didn’t push my luck to get them in deeper. The color is a bit off when compared to the tail so I might adjust with a wash.

The decals look good. VerybRussian.
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!"..

I thought it was a Mr Color aluminum! I’ve been using that one for awhile. It’s still my favorite because it cures fast on that plastic and takes handling well. Interesting how you harmonized the engine with the frame; that looks spot on! That looks just right for the project!

I’m a bit late to post. Decals look good too. Bravo!
Make more models!
