I've had a lot of fun putting the stencils on my F-15A. I've done things the way they are done in real life - stencils first, squadron markings after. I'm using the Hasegawa Streak Eagle kit and so the stencils on the kit sheet are suitable for a very early F-15A. The key numbers on the decal sheet are perfectly legible as well.
As for the Luftwaffe RF-4E - all the main markings are on. I'm ready to apply the stencils using the Airdoc sheet ADS173003. Therein lies the problem. The instructions are perfectly legible. So are the key numbers on the decal sheet - for a man much younger than me who doesn't have to use bifocal spectacles!
So... on Monday morning, I'm going to have to go out in search of a magnifying glass. I bet George Clooney doesn't have these problems!
