I'm having a hell of a time getting the stripes in front and around the cockpit to fit properly. I'v already ruined the black, red and blue set which incidently was purple instead of black on the wings. The main issue is that the sticker that goes in front of the cockpit ends up all lumpy. I don't recall ever having so much trouble with the original when I was a kid. Does the sticker set from Cobrastickers have a front piece that fits better?

I've had the same issue. The best I have done is to get the front sticker centered on the front of the canopy area and slowly smooth it out as I work my way around each side. I still have a small wrinkle on the very edge on each side. I wondering if I should used some heat to help it lay down easier.
I'm considering ordering some stickers because I misplaced the star ensignia on the sides. |

No real issues for me, I just did what the above poster did, and it came out all right. One thing though, I'm not following where to put all those little sticker...too many steps imo!!! so no steps for me!!

So the front sticker actually fits? I was thinking that it was slightly off, causing the wrinkles and bumps. I guess I'll have to order a sheet from cobrastickers.

I did mine the other night and ended up with 1 small wrinkle on each side but is barely noticable. I just centered it best I could.

The new stirker has a bump where the canopy clips closed, the old striker didnt have this. So a set of repro sticker wont help anything. The solution is to either live with a bit of wrinkle or cut a bit out of the sticker.
