OK, for those who might have a bit of an advertoruous nature, I see Modelerstwoalexander Brasil/Gio Decals have already done YAM Dreaming I am aware that some don't like this brand new scheme, but each to his own, please don't shoot the messenger.
from reports on Britmodeler, it seems they are a bit better in supplying, still you pays your money and takes the risk

On close inspection, I think he botched it - I can't see the white kangaroo's leg piece anywhere...

Also, I can't tell if he put the necessary white surrounds around most of the door outlines either.

I just saved the image and blew it up and you can just see the white legs on the 'Roo and the red only area on the other appropriately positioned decal so looks like it's a case of white decal over red decal? Should work out wonderfully! (You have to say that last sentence channelling Homer Simpson.)

I'd like to see one of these Decal Makers throw accuracy out the window and take the pi$$ by reinstating the Paws!

The "dots" don't look right either.

Yes, I doubt very much of it is really accurate, but gives the impression, was amazed he got it done so quickly from the aircraft roll out, always a recipe for disaster
