I was given a Pica Spit 1/5 scale half built. I already have a little spit that I completed as true to scale as I could.
My question is the kit has pressure sensitive decals and I was thinking of putting panel lines and rivets on this big spit. Has anyone tried to put decals over rivets?

If so was there a trick and did the decals lift around the rivets?

Or should I just airbrush them on like my little spit? On one hand I like to put lots of detail on my planes.............. but then I get too scared to fly them

. I thought if I try and keep the labor down and use the decals I might actually fly the thing more.

Thanks for your input. Peter
