If you have the system, you have it. I don’t have the material with me but here’s a cpl. examples of adjusting techs to the global system.
Super subs turned into Adv. torpedoes lvl.1 att +1 lvl.2 def +1.
Since no sub detection anymore, radar/ counter radar is now Adv. Destroyers and Adv. Subs that adjusts their pre-combat initiatives.
Airborne radar 1&2 allows bombers to strafe subs without destroyers and a +1 Sbr.
Was UK last time used, these were ones fresh in my mind.
Stay safe.

@Gentlegamer
I really like that R&D system.
Still in use, as a rule option, although the list has been changed and expanded.

Not much worse than a creased matt.
Mt first try would be to warm the fold with a hair dryer/heat gun, depending how much heat the vinyl can handle. May help you move the material back into the correct position.
Luck.

Our quick fix attempt was to activate Russia’s +9 Novosibirsk card for global.

Remember how she said that
we would meet again
some sunny day.

Thought those magnets were 3mm?
My first thought is how many plugs you can get out of a 16p nail with a hacksaw?

Since I had the U.S. naval colors out, I pushed through with the Lexington rebuild.
Here’s the previous look.

Reused everything but the rear structure, boosting the fwd. island about 1.5mm. Rear section fabricated with styrene stock.

Think I might have gone a little to big? Still 100% better. That’s what I get for trying to use the rear of a classic tank turret the first time.
Stay safe all.

Use the multiple color die and either paint over or chip color out of the miss numbers?

Been bringing my artillery and AA pieces up to current appearance standards. Got bored with that assembly line work, made these.
Have a heavy transport house tech. rule, normally a small tape flag on aft mast is now this.

Good stuff. The perfect tools for sinking those pretty flat tops.
I’m beginning to understand how this up close photography accents mistakes never seen on the board.
As to the silvering, I noticed on the pic of the nose decal that the paint surface looks dull, one thing I’ve learned about decals is they prefer to lay down on a shiny smooth surface. The irregular surface is trapping air pockets under the film.
I’m personally using Pledge gloss floor finish. Dries fairly quick, levels well without killing surface detail.
