The fuselage of this kit is made up of 4 sides, but the seam line doesn't line up correctly for all of them. The top and bottom parts had to be cut at the centre seam and be sanded a bit to correctly line up with the side parts
The reference I'm using shows the stripes on the fuselage to be red/white, rather than blue/white as per the decals. I therefore removed the blue sections and made some replacements with red decal stripes
Main subsections put together and decals all applied. The Roden decals were terrible - I ended up replacing the side crosses and white stripes as the kit ones wouldn't settle down. The wing crosses only settled with the strongest decal softener I had (some old Poly Scale stuff)
