IP decal simply came apart. Used what I could. Full speed ahead.
This is a filler of my time when get tired of sanding/polishing the body of the Impala.

“What” is easier than “Who,” but in any case your cockpit work looks excellent despite whatever the decal decided to do. In fact, it’s not noticeable. You made the right call to continue onward, Lyle. All the best.

where've I've seen that cockpit before?
Great start Lyle, no worries about that Decal you'll hardly see it when the canopy is closed anyway!

Another Mustang kit, I presume? Join the party! Spritz the cockpit with a little clear flat while you're here!

Trying to build up the Allied forces to take on your work!
I will hit it with some clear flat, John. Thanks for the advice....

Great job Lyle, but how come your IP decal broke down, what decal setting solution did you use ?
Looks still ok, at least from the angle you took the pic

Hi, Kari. Thanks. It broke apart coming off of the paper. Maybe I forced it...I don’t know. Anyway, I used what I could as it came apart it mainly good spots. Not much will be visible when it is closed up.

Ahaa, but you're absolutely right, will not be too visible when closed up!
