Thank you ygmodeler, Marc, mucker, Bud, and Drew !
Marc - if you like PE, get the additional set plus the placards. There are lots of parts for the wheel wells, engine, and gunbays, as well as open engine panels (with fasteners !). I just ordered the A-5, but will wait for the PE before starting it.
Drew - I don't care much about ease, I just like the detail it provides. I could never paint the stenciling or fine lines. Since they are so crisply printed, you need to be very careful with the rest of the cockpit. Any sloppiness will show next to them, and they'll look like add-ons. I only wish they had a little more depth.
Thanks again !
