I like the cables. . .but I agree that the sticker apps were pretty bad. This is one drawback to the see-through boxes--we can't apply all the stickers ourselves, and they do a pretty shoddy job at the factory.

shoddy is a kind word, methed up blind chinese kids put these things on while riding pogsticks...apparently. cables would have been good on early models but as tech progesses, less external systems should be the natural process, and as such the new ones look out of sorts with the vinatge pods. and thats just another vulnerability too, "this is underaccessorized televiper 1 to squadron leader...oh wait you cant hear me cause i dont have any equipmet, but just in case, my cables been shot up and now my weapon wont fire!" heheheheheh.

I kind of like the cables even if they don't make a whole heck of a lot of sense. And yes, the Cobra sticker on the bubble on mine is all kinds of crooked. I haven't seen any Trouble Bubbles yet that had a decently applied Cobra sticker.

If the sticker placement is bad i reccommend getting a pair of tweezers and pulling the sticker off then reapplying it. I have done that with great success on every one of my vehicles.

Out of two Trubble Bubbles, I've only had to re-apply one cobra symbol on the canopy (I've gotten lucky) I also like the cables just because it adds a little something extra to them, although I can see the real world ramifications of having either power or cooling cables/hoses like that being a very bad thing. Course that only means it's more likely for them to be on there

I took the canopy sticker off and applied a slightly smaller CobraStickers decal. It fits beautifully with no bubbles or creases.
