So Minicraft completely screwed up the decals. The unit (wing and squadron) are completely wrong. It says on the instructions Kansas ANG, yet there's no markings for them. The markings they show are for the 940th ARW out of Beale AFB and is a Air Force Reserve wing.

So the decals are done with no real unit markings.

Anyone know why my images are so damn big. I'm using a small pic size.

Medic—I am bumming about the lack of unit markings—especially after the kit advertised these, but still man wow what a build you have here!

Regarding your images, I checked your links and see nothing wrong here using my phone, but I did notice that the part in brackets is [image]. Perhaps try Image

Most -135 units have low key markings nowadays in the post Cold War era. The 100th Air Refueling Group out of the UK, pays tribute to their WWII roots with a D in a Black square as their forefathers wore on their B-17s. But most tankers just have small unit badges up in the nose and their designators on the boom fins.

Yeah. I can't use any of the unit markings cause they're all wrong.
