Quest AS-1 Escort Build Part 19 Decals

This kit just gets more and more interesting.

Mistakes, measurement errors, misspellings, no strake piece, badly cut parachute, thin gap cap stock - the list goes on.
Don't get me wrong, I have had great experiences with other Quest products.

I called Quest when I realized there wasn't enough decals to match the cover art.
The decal sheet is missing two USAF and two stars and bars decals. You need four of each to match the face card picture.
I was told that Quest is no longer sending out additional decals.

Oh well - I'll probably scan what was included and print out what is needed.

Here's the rear end of the Escort with the rudder fin painted black.

These fins black rear fins were masked off and the body sprayed aluminum. While the instructions specify silver, aluminum is close and doesn't show oily fingerprints as much.
