Falcon - 199 decals later

Yes, I counted them : 199 decals on this little bird.

It took the better part of 7 hours to get them all in place. It's the main reason why the project ended up on the backburner late may of last year, but I'm glad I found renewed motivation to finish it.

Initial tests without a semi-gloss coat weren't good, but that was remedied. All other decals behaved well, with some application of Micro-Sol and -Set. The stripes on the sidewinders were the hardest to convince to sit still, but we were victorious in the end.

I added a final matte coat to remove (most of) the sheen on the surface.
