Not to mention the poor paint opacity, brush marks, etc!!    

If you produced decals like that people would be horrified Jennings!

This reminds me of a practical joke often used at a RAF open day at Wildenrath or Brüggen airbase in Germany back in the seventies, where at a certain moment the public address system announced a "request" for a car owner to have his car removed from the parking lot because it was blocking a certain way.

Ofcourse noone responded, so the request was done again and again and again , and at a certain moment the announcer would say: ok, we will remove that car, we're sorry......

And then a wessex helicopter would appear beyond the horizon, with a VW Beetle slung below it's belly (the VW was filled with concrete) and hover midfield in front of the crowd, and then released it's burden which fell to the ground in a gigantic crash..........you should have seen some of the spectators running towards the parking lots.......

I've seen that done elsewhere as well - Mildenhall in the 1970s/early 80s for one.
