Hi, all. I recently got my third package, so I went ahead and tried out the cockpit to see how it looked. Everything looked great until I turned on the light.

Now I can see that the label isn't properly lined up, and that is causing the light to pop through in the wrong places. I lined the thing up with the door, and one of the light bars looks okay. The other side, and the other light-up parts, however, seem off.

So, does anyone have any tips on getting this thing lined up hole-wise? The door and cockpit floor holes are lined up, but the light's just not shining through the right parts of the label. I'll see if I can get some pictures. Not sure how well they'll turn out on account of the bright light.

Here are some shots I took with my phone. They're not great, but they should give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

Right now, I'm looking at cutting a strip of index card the height of the light bars and taping it to the back of the plastic piece and then resetting the label based on that guide. Then, I can use my knife to cut the label to the new hole placement.

I used a little bit of black paint on the back of the sticker to clean up some light bleed on mine.
