OK I guess this is nit-picking but I found the that markings for the battery cover on the real plane are different than what was shown in the decal layout page. I was able to remove and relocate the decals without much problem, simply by re-wetting them. (I'm going to seal them when I am done. 2956 decals to go....). I am also going to paint the exposed part of the gun flat black. and maybe enlarge the barrel openings if I can do it without ruining it. Here are some detail pics. I especially like this first one because of all the detail it shows.

I know for a fact that the FMS version also requires quite a bit of UP elevator to fly level. A guy at my field has the FMS and that's what he noted along with very weak retracts. One fell off on the maiden landing and 20 feet later, the other one fell off. Easy enough to reinforce, I guess.

For the included decals for the arsenal, it would be nice to have a pic to determine which one goes on which. EG Where's the rectangular blue piece used ?Currently flying: Twin 80mm A-10, 80mm F5, 80mm A6, 70mm Yak-130, 70mm F-16v2,90mm Stinger 90, 70mmRC Lander F9F, Flightline F7F TigerCat, Phoenix 46 size Tucano, Flyzone L-39

Got these in today! Dont particularly care for the way they sculpted the arms on the pilot, but it'll do. probably shouldve just ordered the seat itself and used an action figure or something. got my book in too for some crazy detailing .... what sucks is, we have to put everything in storage next week to put our house on the market...so my A10 will have to sit in the box for well over a month possibly till we settle into our new home.3 Photoswww.TSHobbies.com

Yeah, I doubt they'll fit together in a 76cm bag. However, the wings do fit perfectly in the 76cm bag with just one wing in each bag, which I why I purchased two originally, to keep them separate from one another.
