Thanks, Q. It helps explain the inaccuracies. 
I just put a great big smudge right on the 't' in Spitfire (the one on the base). I don't know how this happened. I used microscale decal film and then Revell softener. It had been sitting for about an hour. How can the ink run after all that to protect it?
Ah well, I can always re-do it later. I'm going to go ahead and finish the model first. Probably not tonight though. Decalling is proceeding slowly.
