Hi folks, I figure you are the ones to ask about proper details on an F-15. I’ve got one here that’s about 1/60 scale. Some stuff is prepainted on like the “no step” and “fuselage lift” marks, but a decal sheet was also supplied with stuff like the tail letters and stripes and wing/squadron logos. There are a few decals I’m not clear on though.
There’s some “Do Not Fly” decals that the instruction page says go on the Sidewinder missiles. I’ve been looking at various photos and can’t find anything of that nature in the real world. Is there any precident for such a thing?
The decal sheet also has five each of some generic looking danger-type labels, “Caution”, “Warning”, “Rescue”, “No Push”, “Hot Air Exhaust”, but there’s no indication of where these should go. Assuming these can really be found on an F-15, where should I be placing them?
Ah, just in case you’re curious, no, this isn’t actually a model kit. It’s the Masterpiece Starscream Transformer toy. You can see some pictures here:

They went to some lengths to make it look as real as possible in F-15 mode and I wanted to stay consistent with that with the decals.
