Great start 04svt!

The nice thing about AKi products....  You can always Wipe it off !!!   and start over...?

Since its a "TEST BED" model....     go for it !      just a little tip thou!    Next time you are about to use those AKi stuff.    Make sure your decals have been covered with a good coat of clear !   Acrylic based would be nice!  Like FUTURE,  it help "level them" as if they were part of the paint!!!      Then the AKi stuff won't puddle around them !   like it did here on your Glacis plate marking !  It followed the outline of the Decal film !    It may not be that visible here..... but could be more invasive in a more direct line of sight;  Like on a turret!   

So,  what ever CLEAR gloss you put on before you add your decals ! ( IF you do Clear Coat ???)    just add another coat of clear once you are done Decaling of course.... !    After everything has dried thoroughly and there is no "slivering" ...!   Go nuts on the AKi !   go often to their website for tips on applying their products !     or ask around...  many are Well rounded and experienced with their Line of products.... 

Best of luck
