So, I haven't updated this because I have school, but I have not forgotten about it.
This question I have is "how do I remove the water stains or marks that are left on the decal?"

use some Tamiya polish or a similar product. Are you going to put a clear coat on? if so, make sure whatever you use can be painted over. Tamiya polish is fine.

You can also wash models after the decals have completely dried using a lightly soapy water. This can leave water marks so I prefer using Polly S Plastic prep which I think is just Isopropyl alcohol. This dries almost immediately ready for painting!

Hope that helps?

Looking really nice. I have one of these sat on my shelf as a fun build to do some time. I'll probably pick up the S15 as well when it comes out. The Tamiya gold looks pretty spot on for color, and the Carbon decal work looks nice.

I'm guessing the thing you are talking about is the tape, and the car doesn't have any hinges for doors, etc...
