I just came across this thread while trying to figure out where to put the decals on my Moray. Talk about an enormous help, especially the pic of the cockpit area. Thanks for that one, Xero!

I just did a Moray with Cobrastickers/ToyHax, and as others have mentioned the Cobra Sigil is off. Mine is actually way smaller than original. Unfortunately I didn't notice until after I'd removed the original. The replacement is also, as already mentioned the exact same colour as the boat so disappears. It's a shame, as many of the other red stickers originally were like this and Cobrastickers actually have theirs some orange highlighting to make them stand out. Bit not the Sigil.
Waiting on a large white replacement as I think it will look much better. All the other decals are spot on awesome! |

Sorry to hear, it has been some years since I did mine. I don’t recall any issues with their Moray set but it was 4 years ago. I can say that their decals are at times resized- this is normally done when the original decal overlapped some sculpted detail and wouldn’t sit flat on the vehicle. Off the top of my head any resizing that I’ve come across on their sets was an improvement to the original set. However I didn’t have the Moray as a kid so I don’t have that nostalgic Tie or memory of the sigil.

Here's a photo of mine - you can see the discolouration from the original decal as a halo around the replacement decal. It is unfortunately much smaller than the original, and pretty much invisible.
Will post a new photo when my white logos arrive! The cobra decals are otherwise superb though! In the future I’ve had some success removing the decal stians with baby oil. Not every time but in some cases.

I'll try baby oil, thanks! I used WD40 to remove the old goo, and some automotive scratch remover to clean up the body, but there is still some haze just around that logo as it was sun baked I guess. Hopefully a big while Cobra will cover it up if not.
