CLARIFICATIONS: I have been able to identify several of the 'tiny stenciled text blocks'. I was able to obtain a copy of
Microscale #87-24 (originally 'RH-24') HO decal sheet, which supports the following findings:
Item #145: Text reads per the exemplar image below. The form of this block of text provided the clues to find it, namely the center-justified arrangement, plus the almost clear view of that showed the EX.W & EW lines both have a '10' in them, and the last line ends in a '5'. Surprisingly, there was only one of the dozen or so available candidates that met these requirements. [NOTE THE RULER MARKS ARE FOR INCHES]
This also turns out this is the text that is next to the 'tiny red circle' on top of the cockpit (
Item #33a)
Item #130: Another block of tiny text, this is located on the end wall of the docking tunnel, above the docking port. It also is from sheet #24, and reads per the exemplar below:
Again, it was the general form of the archive image that allowed for a match to the original decal example.
Item #49: Now with a hi-rez scan, we can clearly see what this decal (resolved by
Imurme) looks like, per the below exemplar:
This is especially useful given only rather blurry images are available from the various 'walkaround' archives shared in the web.
I also picked up copies of MS sheets #87-23 & 31 so I can share findings from review of these shortly. All this information is being added to the Decal Tracker & the image archives (now enhanced with images of available exemplars, individual instance locations & placement maps) for upload to my club's website in a few days.
