The new end part for the gun looks good Mike.

Sorry, no idea how to use the 3d decals. I assume they're not sticky-backed and you do have to glue them in place? White glue or CA maybe? I did look on the Redfox website for you but didn't see any 'how-to' notes.

The ones that I've used are released from the backing by a dip in water, usually 10-20 seconds. The piece receiving them is to be smoothed out, i.e., if it is an instrument panel, sand away anytail, apply a coating of some adhesive - a good white glue works well as it give a bit of time to move things. Then just let it dry. Really quite easy to use. They are somewhat addictive due to the exquisite detail they have.

That aftermarket looks mighty tasty. Sorry about your internet being out for a few days, though. I don’t think I would cope with that very well.

I found a video on on either Ammo or AK's YouTube channel (I subscribe to both) on how to use them. They just peel off the backing and you glue them on using white glue.

Here's a pic of the gun in place. Not glued in of course.

I got the Red Fox cockpit applied to the plastic parts and man it looks great! So much better than the kit details. I glued the cockpit tubs into one side of the fuselage and test fitted everything and it all looks good. I should be able to close up the fuselage tomorrow.
